Overall Satisfaction with AWS Lambda

We are already using other AWS services like EC2, RDS, S3, etc. and they are super reliable and easy to maintain. We use AWS Lambda to host our serverless function which is responsible for authentication. We have also started moving our microservices from EC2 to Lambda.

Pros

  • No need to maintain architecture.
  • Easier operational management with AWS console.
  • Scaling benefits of FaaS beyond costs. You pay only for what you used.

Cons

  • Vendor lock-in, dependency on AWS ecosystem.
  • It's a bit difficult to get started. AWS needs to provide more getting started examples.
  • UI is a bit dull and messy. They should make it cleaner.
  • It is cost-effective, easily scalable, and reliable.
Product engineers can innovate rapidly as serverless architecture has alleviated the problems of system engineering. Thus, you spend less time on operational issues and it makes devops life easier.
