Overall Satisfaction with AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is perfect for small serverless workloads that enable cheap integrations with native AWS services. It is primarily used as a trigger from things like DynamoDB or SNS, which allows for very lightweight automations to occur. Not having to allocate or pay for a dedicated server to handle these micro workloads is ideal. The integration with many services gives AWS Lambda a lot of potential.

AWS Lambda is much easier to use than the near alternatives. It is so straightforward and lightweight it is my primary service for handling small transactions or triggers. The other services require more setup time and are more complex to use. AWS Lambda takes your code snippet and runs with no fiddling.
