Overall Satisfaction with AWS Lambda

So, in a recent task, we developed an application where user-uploaded images were getting stored in S3, triggering AWS Lambda function to resize them for uniform display. AWS Lambda also handled CRUD operations, which allows us to focus solely on business logic without managing servers. This serverless approach has streamlined development and we continue to use it for various tasks.

Pros

  • Schedule Task Execution like AWS Lambda can automate tasks like cleanups and backups.
  • Serverless log analysis
  • Event Driven Data Processing

Cons

  • AWS Lambda has a maximum execution time of 15 minutes, making it unsuitable for tasks that require longer processing times
  • As AWS Lambda is Serverless, Debugging Lambda is not easy.
  • cold starts in AWS Lambda can affect real time performance
  • No infrastructure management, Lower costs.
  • Reduced manual wok.
  • Faster User deployments.
  • Better User experience
I rated it 8 because AWS Lambda is simple to use and setup and it can scale automatically, no infrastructure management required. It also provides seamless integration. However, debugging can be complex because it provides limited visibility, and also cold starts can cause latency issues.

Do you think AWS Lambda delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with AWS Lambda's feature set?

Yes

Did AWS Lambda live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of AWS Lambda go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy AWS Lambda again?

Yes

AWS Lambda is well suited for event driven tasks that require automatic scaling and minimal infrastructure management such as Image processing (as in our case) and Backend API's. However, AWS Lambda is less appropriate for long running processes and tasks that require consistently low latency as cold starts can introduce latency.
