AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda

This post we are going to learn about AWS Lambda advantages and disadvantages.

AWS Lambda is server-less computing, where the code will run without managing servers. Lambda is an event driven computing Architecture/Platform, or FaaS (Functions as a Service).

Advantages:

  • Easy to manage and operate.
  • Faster development.
  • Less operational cost, basic advantages of server less architecture.
  • 100 concurrent executions also it can be increased (Unlimited functions).

Disadvantages:

  • Third party vendor system, no control over the environment/system, in case of any outage system will be affected.
  • Server less architecture bit tough.
  • Lambda error handling and debugging is not that good also logging part do not have standard logging frameworks like Log4J (Java have), AWS Lambda allows only CloudWatch.
