AWS Lambda Reviews

Primarily, I work with all my clients to provide them with solutions. We are a service company, so we work with clients to define and build applications that resolve their need for automation issues. I create the solutions, and then there is a delivery team of mine which works to deliver that solution to the client.  

The thing that I have found most valuable in Lambda is primarily the ease of developing the services we distribute. We can easily develop the solutions using any language which is available today — this includes all the primary and new-age languages.  

Secondly, because it is a cloud service technology, we do not have to worry about the infrastructure behind the solutions we provide. Everything is all on the cloud and there is no maintenance and we have to do no monitoring of the architecture. The time and expense of maintenance are taken care of by the platform itself. Those are the things that we like most about it.  

There are certain limitations to some services in Lambda which will have to be overcome over time. Primarily, I think there are two aspects of the product that are in most need of improvement.  

One is, of course, the customization. The process of customizing should be simplified.  

The other is specifically in the area of integration. The configuration requirements for the services which would be desirable to integrate with Lambda are not always as easy to utilize as they should be. For example, the opportunities we have to integrate solutions with the world outside of the cloud are not well supported. These integrations are supported well inside the cloud but some clients need to support solutions outside the cloud. If somebody has that need we should be able to deploy integrations with products and services outside the cloud as well. 

So those are the two drawbacks and potential areas for improvement area which I would like to see corrected in AWS. Those features need to be updated because the current functionality of the product is not competitive enough today with other products in the category. I think with time they have to improve and add new features or offer other ways of integrating new services.  

I have been working for more than a year now on Lambda AWS (Amazon Web Services) solutions, designing the real-time applications, services, and similar types of solutions for automated response.  

Stability-wise, Lambda needs some improvement because it has constraints that cause issues with task completion. What I mean by constraints is that there are some limitations to the number of minutes that a process can run and then execute. If the process continues to run and goes beyond that limit, it will time out. Those kinds of things are built into the nature of the product. Probably with time I think this is an area where the company will need to add new features or functionality to improve the behavior.  

Lambda definitely is scalable and to a great extent because it does not require any kind of additional infrastructure for the clients. It just is just a lot less trouble to deploy. You can extend and auto-scale to any level. So, the scalability is very good.  

Our clients are large-sized enterprise businesses so certainly the product can scale up to meet their needs.  

The support from AWS is fine. I am quite definitely satisfied with their support system.  

I would say the setup is straightforward. I think that most of the development is really straightforward in nature. The solutions have to develop based on some use-cases defined by the client organization. When these are defined, we are just meeting the needs of the organization by building the solution to do what they need. So the setup and implementation are all pretty straightforward.  

I would definitely recommend AWS Lambda. There are a lot of successful test cases both with our clients and other startups which are doing really well using Lambda as a solution.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate AWS Lambda as an eight-out-of-ten. That would be the right number at this time considering the product is lacking in some areas.  

We have used Lambda for

batch processing for specific schedules.

different bot functions that run regularly,

Application business logic

Easy to impliment without any environment provisioning

 The initial setup is straightforward. 

The stability is good.

It has good monitoring. the visibility is great.

From a very high-level perspective, it is a good solution, however, there are certain limitations. This becomes challenging for us. Specifically, a limitation is Lambda cannot continuously execute for more than 15 minutes. That could be one limitation. On an implementation level, there are certain limitations that I know about yet would not be the best person to explain as I am not technical.

The execution timeout can be increased so that if we have a lengthy process, it will not fail before their timeouts. We've had to revamp the way that it works due to that 15-minute timeout limitation.

We've been using over 2 years

It's very stable, and it's easy to monitor. They have all the required logs and dashboards available on AWS to see the progress. The visibility of it also is good when a Lambda runs and completes.

I would not say it's scalable in terms of usage. As the demands increase it is scalable. But if the lambda need more time to process it's not scalable beyond 15 mts.

I've never dealt with technical support. I can't comment on their services. 

Positive

It seems to be a straightforward process. However, I'm not directly totally involved with the Lambda implementation.

We are implementors and can set up the solution for clients. 

The ROI is very good. It's a positive thing as there's no investment at all. It's purely on usage you have to pay. There's no upfront investment required, and it's only on the requirement that you have to choose Lambda. With the cost not being very big, the ROI is very good.

The cost is based on the number of Lambdas used if I'm not mistaken. It's only a usage charge, not a license charge.

We are an extensively using

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

With time-out limitation, it's not a perfect fit for the batch process which takes more than 10 min.

AWS Lambda is used to write developer codes in Python. It is a place we can run where we can run our codes.

AWS Lambda is interlinked with CloudWatch. When we have any errors we can directly go there and check the CloudWatch logs. Additionally, we can run it very fast and we can increase the RAM size and other components.

We don't have the inbuilt modules in AWS Lambda. If more modules were built into or integrated with AWS Lambda, that would help developers to code.

I have been using AWS Lambda for approximately two and a half years.

The solution is stable.

The scalability of AWS Lambda needs to improve.

We have more than 100 users using this solution in my organization.

I have not used the technical support from AWS Lambda.

I have not used other solutions prior to AWS Lambda.

AWS Lambda is a very inexpensive solution. They charge for the number of times we run it. If you run AWS Lambda for one time, they charge around 50 cents or 25 cents for the use. I don't know the exact price, but it's less than a dollar.

AWS Lambda is user-friendly, people can learn very fast. People should start using AWS Lambda instead of using their own servers. It is very cheap and is the best way where any student can learn.

I rate AWS Lambda an eight out of ten.

We have two or three applications that are hosted with Lambda. Being on cloud, the solution has its own advantages with good management of resources. You can spin up anything instantly without any investment and disaster recovery or HA is taken care of by the service itself. 

I believe Lambda security needs to be improved.  

I've been using this solution for one year. 

The solution is stable. 

I'm satisfied with the technical support, they respond quickly. 

The initial setup was straightforward and we currently have four engineers working on the product. 

Licensing is on a monthly subscription model and is usage-based. 

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

It is used for capturing data through an API.

One of the most valuable features of this solution is its scalability. 

The overall performance of this solution could be improved. We would also like to have better integration with other AWS features. 

We have been using this solution for more than three years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We use it for serverless functions.

The programming language and the integration with other AWS services are the most valuable features.

Its performance can be improved. There should also be more dynamic security permissions.

I have been using this solution since I joined this company, which was two years ago.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable.

There are no issues. So far, I am completely satisfied with their technical support.

It was easy.

I did it myself.

We didn't evaluate other options because it was a requirement for the project.

I would advise others to predefine the main model and ensure their CI/CD pipeline.

I am satisfied with Lambda, and I would recommend it to others. I would rate it an eight out of 10.

Our website is hosted on AWS, and we use Lambda to create trigger points.

Lambda's dashboard could be more user-friendly and customizable. I want the dashboard to have more information to quickly identify what functions and events are running. Also, we want to be able to add more trigger points, push notifications, and events. For example, we have a shopping website, so we want to create some events to trigger batch notifications like SMS.

I think my company implemented Lambda two years back, but I only joined 10 months ago.

Lambda is stable. We don't have any problems with this app.

Many things are on running on the site, so there is no issue with scalability.

We haven't had issues with this platform, so I haven't needed to contact support.

Actually, I am not recommended that thing. Actually, it is sent by our vendors. Actually, they implemented that thing.

I rate AWS Lambda 10 out of 10. I can recommend Lambda. It's a good fit for our use case. It's also suitable for companies of any size. For example, we're a large enterprise, and we've used Lambda without any problems in the last 10 months.

We use AWS Lambda for several things. We are using it, for instance, to do authentication of information from HTTP sites. We use it for alerting when monitoring the direct database infrastructure, and we use it for API transformation.

It provides us with everything that we need.

We have been using AWS Lambda for two or three years.

We don't have a problem with the stability of AWS Lambda. It's very stable.

It is a scalable solution.

We have many users, but it is based on volume and the number of transactions, not by the number of users.

We have no issues with the technical support.

We use a number of AWS services.

The installation is straightforward. 

We have scripted most of the things. There was no problem with the installation.

We completed the installation ourselves.

The price in general could always be better.

The fees are volume-based.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate AWS Lambda a nine out of ten.
