What is AWS Lambda?

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that helps businesses run codes based on triggered events and facilitate application development processes. Supervisors can add custom logic to AWS resources, upload codes, create functions, and select memory, timeout period, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role according to requirements.

AWS Lambda allows organizations to automatically run defined functions and launch and manage compute resources based on incoming requests. Managers can create custom backend services for applications, package codes as a Lambda layer, and share them as functions.

AWS Lamba can be connected to existing Amazon Elastic File Systems (EFS), enabling businesses to streamline file and data processing operations.

Super easy to use and set up, you really don't need to know a lot to get your code running in the cloud, and the best part of it is that it will scale to very very large without anything on your side.

Cons
Not cost effective as every call to a function will be charged. Limited plugins and execution time.

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

Bundle size and cold start times may be limiting for big projects. Also DB connection management can be a problem for concurrent runs.

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

Nothing that can be seen as a negative. However an optimal solution for cold starts can be arrived with no extra cost.
