Why you should not use AWS Lambda?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:24 pm

AWS Lambda is a powerful compute service that enables developers to run code in response to events, such as an input from a user or an event from an application. Lambda functions can be run in seconds, making them a great choice for responding to events that occur frequently.

However, there are a few reasons why you should not use AWS Lambda for your development needs.

PRO TIP: There are a few reasons why you might not want to use AWS Lambda:

1. You may not be able to use all the features of the platform, as it is still relatively new.

2. It can be more expensive than other cloud platforms, as you pay for each request made.

3. There can be issues with cold starts, where your code takes longer to execute after being inactive for a while.

First, AWS Lambda is a compute service, and as such, it is not always suitable for tasks that require persistent storage, such as data storage or application logs.

Second, AWS Lambda is not always suitable for tasks that require high throughput or low latency. For tasks that require high throughput or low latency, you may want to consider using AWS Linux AMI or AWS CloudFormation.

Finally, AWS Lambda is not suitable for tasks that require a high degree of customizability or flexibility. For tasks that require a high degree of customizability or flexibility, you may want to consider using AWS CloudFormation or a custom AWS Lambda function.
