Overall Satisfaction with AWS Lambda

We use AWS Lambda to efficiently auto scale our NodeJS-based infrastructure without the overhead of needing to manage virtual machines or worry about capacity planning. Additionally, we don’t need to manage security patches for the OS because there is no OS to worry about!
  • Auto-scaling.
  • Scale to zero.
  • Quick function startup.
  • Less vendor lock-in.
  • Better integration with community tools like OpenFaaS.
  • Improved cold start times.
  • Reduced costs.
  • Lower security surface area.
  • Quick development feedback loop.
Good user experience but it’s limited to AWS propriety development flow and better integration with community tools like OpenFaaS would improve the development story.
We have always had quick and helpful responses to customer support requests.
AWS Lambda is great for distributed systems in which scaling of independent components is critical and you don’t want to manage the overhead of needing to maintain a fleet of virtual machines.
