“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.

Performance of AWS Lambda Across Market Features
AWS Lambda Likes & Dislikes
Node.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 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

Event Driven Automation Is Simple Yet Cold Starts And Debugging Remain Issues
I’ve only used AWS Lambda a bit, but my experience so far has been very positive.Setting up a basic function is incredibly simple, and the UI makes it easy to test and monitor configuration. - DIRECTOR OF SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE10B+ USDBankingReview Source
Efficient Platform Balances Speed and Cost, VScode Integration Needs Improvement
robust tooling and well documented serverless solution. the expansion of libraries and language support allows us to support the stacks and developers we have. the speed of development and startup time is very useful. cost efficiency is also competitive. - PROJECT MANAGER<50M USDMediaReview Source
