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
-serverless -easy -secure
That you pay for invocations only. If there is no need to run the function (ie no traffic on the website), then you spend nothing. Also that it is easy to control provissioning of the lambda functions through terraform which means our infrastructure is coded and versioned.
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.
- Integration as a self service into our platform is too hard
That to use Lambda we have to use lot's of other Amazon products too such as API Gateway, S3, SNS. Kinda feels like you are onselling all those other services to yourself. So in theory it still should save you a lot of money but overall AWS bill gets really high.

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 - SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER50M-1B USDBankingReview Source
Migrating Legacy VM Workflows to Lambda Brings Cost Benefits and Complexity
We went to cloud and realised that we are still using old habits of running services on VMs. So we decided to go head first and rewritten some code to be executed on Lambda. It is an interesting journey to go through. - Director Of Network Architecture50M-1B USDTelecommunicationReview Source
AWS Native Integration Simplifies Server-Less Development and Maintenance Processes
Perfect for creating server-less applications, not only to improve costs but also to benefit from high availability without having to build it yourself. - Engineer50M-1B USDMediaReview Source
Modular Lambda Microservice Architecture Accelerates Development and Scales To Meet Your Needs
AWS Lambda has transformed our workflows by giving us an alternative to monolithic architectures and enabling us to manage smaller services as independent teams. - IT Services AssociateGov't/PS/EdGovernmentReview Source
App Benefits From Built-In Security Yet Struggles With Limited Temporary Disk Space
being serverless is really helpful, cuts down on server management, they run across all of our AZs for high availability, especially as an app that stresses redundancy and resiliency.
