Performance of AWS Lambda Across Market Features
AWS Lambda Likes & Dislikes
A truly serverless model, you just have to take care of the code and deployments, everything else is taken care of by AWS. You only pay for the compute time that is used by your model. It supports almost all languages so the user has the flexibility to use the code of his choice

Run-time constraint, as the lambda has a constraint of 15 mins so if you have a operation which takes more than 15 mins, look for other options. Cold starts is something still to be handled states still needs to be managed in external services like Dynamo DB , s3.
Read Full ReviewNode.js version support is slow to follow the latest released Node version Hie difficult it is to deploy a new service. It needs to offer a simplified and streamlined deployment abstraction like Vercel. Execution duration limits. I get they need to exist, but not why they cant run longer.

AWS Lambda : Event Driven Powertool
Extremely useful service especially for smaller run time loads and automations, serverless execution takes away the operational and financial overload also the integration with various AWS services make it go to service for automation and tasks - IT AssociateGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
AWS Lambda Simplifies Backend Automation With Minimal Maintenance but Cold Starts Occur
I’ve used AWS Lambda primarily for triggering API workflows and hosting small scheduled jobs. It’s been very convenient to run code without worrying about server management. The quick setup, event-driven execution, and built-in support for scheduling through CloudWatch made it easy to automate tasks. I especially liked the flexibility to scale automatically based on demand. One minor limitation I noticed was dealing with cold starts during infrequent invocations, but it wasn’t a major issue for my use case. Overall, Lambda helped me simplify backend workflows and reduce maintenance efforts - Software Developer<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
AWS Lambda Offers Scalability With Notable Delays in Latest Node.js Updates
What can I say? AWS Lambda popularized the serverless paradigm and leads the space. It’s reliable, affordable, and relatively easy to use. I do wish the supported Node.js versions would follow the current release version more closely. The Lambda Node.js version is what our team standardizes on for any Node-related projects, and Lamda’s lagging behind the latest Node version often limits the tools and features we can use across the board. Any other criticism would be about the overall difficulty and complexity of integrating and managing AWS services. - MANAGER OF IT SERVICES50M-1B USDReal EstateReview Source
AWS Lambda Simplifies CRM Webhook Integration and Reduces Infrastructure Costs
I work on a CRM where I often need to send lead data to other platforms using webhooks. Previously, setting this up required hosting, a domain and a lot of time and money. After using AWS lamda, things became much easier. I can run small pieces of code without any server. It saves both time and cost and works perfectly in this case. - SENIOR PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER1B-10B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Pay-Per-Use Serverless Model Cuts Costs but Cold Starts Cause Latency
Cost effective Serverless computing service that automatically scales and runs code, eliminating the need to manage the infrastructure. Ideal for building event-driven applications quickly and efficiently.
