What is AWS Lambda?
AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that lets developers run code without provisioning or managing servers. With Lambda, users can run code for virtually any type of app or backend service—all with zero administration. It takes care of requirements to run and scale code with high availability. Users pay only for the compute time they consume—there is no charge when their code is not running.
Developers uploading to Lambda don’t have to deal with their code’s environment. It’s a “serverless” service which lets outside code or events invoke functions. Lambda doesn’t store data, but it allows access to other services which do. Users can set up their code to automatically trigger from other AWS services or call it directly from any web or mobile app.

AWS Lambda can be game changer
- Maintenance costs are low.
- No need to worry about availability and scalability.
- It may be pricey if you use it for very high traffic.

- Save cost on both AWS infrastructure and development effort.
- Improve speed on data processing.
- Simple to maintain and manage processes.

Using AWS Lambda for Data ETL
- AWS Lambda allows us to migrate off our 3rd Party ETL platform, reducing costs by 80% (no longer paying for licensing fee and server cost).
- It allows us to outsource independent functions to contractors and easily integrate this back into our core process.
- It is cost-effective, easily scalable, and reliable.

Something best for startup project
- Pay per use
- Faster development cycles
- Less developer for backend part

Best Cloud Platform
- Debugging - Debugging using the Lambda functions has become easier.
- Easy to set up and run.
- Scalability is automatic and does not need too much mind-boggling work.

The Serverless Standard
- AWS Lambda has allowed our data science team to rapidly deliver RESTful APIs for machine learning features without engineering support
- AWS Lambda and API Gateway allow our developers to rapidly develop background jobs and services without configuring and maintaining infrastructure, application servers, reverse proxies, etc.
- Lambda integrates well with other AWS products; we don't have to implement as much "glue" code.

Very developed cost-saving product!
- Positive - Only paying for when code is run, unlike virtual machines where you pay always regardless of processing power usage.
- Positive - Scalability and accommodating larger amounts of demand is much cheaper. Instead of scaling up virtual machines and increasing the prices you pay for that, you are just increasing the number of times your lambda function is run.
- Negative - Debugging/troubleshooting, and developing for lambda functions take a bit more time to get used to, and migrating code from virtual machines and normal processes to Lambda functions can take a bit of time.
- Positive: Our tech stack is positioned to scale endlessly, which is imperative to what we're trying to accomplish
- Negative: It's more expensive than building application services from scratch on rented servers

- Less focus on servers, more on code
- Saves money when not in use
- No more planning reserved instances
- No more worries about OS upgrades or patches
- I was able to perform a lot of processing on data delivered from my website and little or no cost. This was a big plus to me.
- Programming AWS Lambda is quite easy once you understand the time limits to the functions.
- AWS Lambda has really good integration with the AWS S3 storage system. This a very good method of delivering data to be processed and a good place to pick it up after processing.

Simple server-less services!
- Really cost-effective way to automate tasks, run microservices, etc.
- Saves a lot of time not having to worry about the environment, architecture, etc.
- Allows us to use other programming languages than those supported by our server architecture

AWS Lambda is like no other!
- Lambda allowed us to write code quickly without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure that it runs on
- Saved us dev time as they're easy to write and iterate on
- Helps us with a lot of situations where we need to automate our tasks

Lambdas for the win
- Removes the need to manage infrastructure
- Only pay for execution time you use
- AWS has sped up the time to implement some functionality since we could create a Lambda function to do the work quickly
- Lambda has reduced costs for cases which would normally require a standalone server
- Lambda has improved resiliency of some backend functions because we don't have to worry about normal redundancy of standalone servers

Scalable, low cost computing
- We've been able to replace some existing long-running services with Lambda-based services and turn the old ones off. Due to the fact that we now only pay for usage rather than having to keep services running 24/7 and scaling them ourselves, we've dramatically reduced costs (around 90%) as well as complexity and maintenance overheads.

AWS Lambda's On-Demand Scripts are Excellent and Easy!
- AWS Lambda only charges while the script is running, which is much cheaper than provisioning a new server 24/7.
- Setting up a script on AWS Lambda is easier and faster than deploying our own.

AWS Lambda - immense power in a little box
- For my Alexa skills, I have no complaints. AWS Lambda functions were required to get the skills working and they haven’t failed at all.

- cost cutting
- Lot of time saving while fixing hot fixes.
