What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
In the absence of a server, they offer the serverless methodology for deployment and function authoring. Without having to worry about much code, we created an internal, totally serverless API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway. It's a simple approach to starting a task with a fluctuating workload. You can significantly reduce costs in a serverless environment compared to a regular EC2 because you only pay for what you use.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
As one of the most effective services offered by Amazon, Lambda is also one of the easiest to use using CloudFormation. It has scalability capabilities using concurrency facilities provided by AWS, and it is easy to integrate with other services on AWS. Terraform, and Cloudformation can be used to provide all infrastructure. Additionally, the product's pay-as-you-go billing structure may enable serverless web development and ETL.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The official lesson is out of date in certain places. For those with vision issues, the fonts or visibility of the cloud9 IDE can be improved to appear more bright or large. Lambda's documentation is neither extremely detailed nor easy to understand. Getting started could be difficult if you don't seek some tutorial videos. Debugging the logs might be very challenging.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Per our prototype work with AWS Lambda, Python appears to have the best support. The team's primary language is Java, and we have discovered that using it with Lambda can be a little challenging. Lambda functions are simple to build and deploy. We use lambadas for many different procedures that must operate asynchronously and only last a minimal duration.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Effective Service

There is a lack of a reliable plan and information on the service's carbon footprint. The number of loops and workarounds you'll have to go through if you wish to keep some infrastructure on-site is incredibly frustrating. Also, sometimes the documentation isn't up to par, and it's always a dull experience.
