Integrated, reliable, and easy to learn
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "AWS Lambda is user-friendly, people can learn very fast."
  • "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."
  • "We don't have the inbuilt modules in AWS Lambda."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of AWS Lambda needs to improve.

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

How are customer service and support?

I have not used the technical support from AWS Lambda.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not used other solutions prior to AWS Lambda.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Good performance and easy to use and install
Pros and Cons
  • "Some of the most valuable features are that it's easy to install and use. The performance is also good."
  • "Some of the most valuable features are that it's easy to install and use, and the performance is also good."
  • "Lambda could be improved in the sense that some of the things done with Lambda function take some time. So the performance could be better and faster."
  • "Lambda could be improved in the sense that some of the things done with Lambda function take some time."

What is our primary use case?

We have a DNS as a service and NAS as a service, which integrates, and we use Lambda functions there. We have a lot of applications that we use Lambda for. 

This solution is cloud-based. 

What is most valuable?

Some of the most valuable features are that it's easy to install and use. The performance is also good. 

What needs improvement?

Lambda could be improved in the sense that some of the things done with Lambda function take some time. So the performance could be better and faster. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Lambda for many years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. 

I think, eventually, we will increase our usage. We need to move some of our services to Lambda. 

How are customer service and support?

Amazon's technical support is good. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before implementing Lambda, we had legacy types of solutions. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation could be faster, but I believe it's a straightforward process. I manage a team that handles the installation, so I can't comment on the specifics of the installation process. Within the team that handles maintenance and deployment, we have two engineers. 

What about the implementation team?

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We don't need to pay for licensing to use Lambda. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate AWS Lambda an eight out of ten. I would recommend AWS Lambda to others. We provide a lot of services, part of which is that we write Lambda functions.

  • "It would be ideal if we could use the solution across different platforms."

What is our primary use case?

Lambda can be used for automating AWS resources. 

It can also be used for automation outside of the cloud and for serverless applications. With Lambda, you can apply the code directly. 

What is most valuable?

The stability of the solution is very good, as is the performance.

It's a brilliant Amazon service that provides for many use cases. It's quite flexible.

The product has been very easy to use. All you have to do is configure a Lambda function and then deploy your code directly there and then you can invoke it in different ways. 

It is easy to configure.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

Technical support has been great in general.

What needs improvement?

It would be ideal if we could use the solution across different platforms.

The integration could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and the performance is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have multiple applications. Most of our applications are Lambda-based, I would say there are around a hundred at this point.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support on offer is brilliant. There shouldn't be any concern with contacting them. they are helpful and responsive. We are satisfied with the level of service on offer from them.

How was the initial setup?

We have found that the solution is easy to install. You just have to do it through the UI and you can easily configure it and deploy it directly.

For deployment, et cetera, we just need one cloud ops engineer per day.

What about the implementation team?

I was able to handle the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of any consultants or integrators. Individual users should be okay if they want to install it themselves. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We don't need to worry about monthly or yearly licenses. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been very pleased with its capabilities in general.
