Overall Satisfaction with AWS Lambda

Clients transactional system was built using Lambda, consisting of 3 API's and a front facing Node.js application.
High latency transaction speeds were achieved and the autoscaling meant spikey traffic is dealt with.
  • Autoscaling
  • High latency
  • Pay only for execution time
  • Increase the time they 'stay warm' - if they go through periods where the system isn't used, the lambda need a few seconds to start up again
  • Removes the need to manage infrastructure
  • Only pay for execution time you use
All were part of the stack we used. Integration was seamless and have not had any load issues.
Its good for short bursts of code execution. If I was looking for long code execution times I would consider falling back to EC2. Easy to use and integrate with API Gateway and making RESTful calls becomes a breeze.
