	AWS Lambda
Considered Both Products	Amazon AWS Andy Qi Senior Software Developer in Engineering at Rivian (Automotive, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Lambda It's fine, it works as the others would have, except EC2.

The tradeoff of maintaining infrastructure in-house outweighs the benefits of moving quickly through … Incentivized Helpful? Fabricio Zubelli DevOps Engineer in Engineering at Kea (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Lambda We chose AWS because of its native integrations with other AWS products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Lambda We use AWS as our primary cloud provider due to the overall availability of services, AWS Lambda is just one of the services we use with AWS which allows a more seamless integration for our microservices.

Sai Sreenivas Addepalli Software Engineer in Information Technology at Coda, a Presidio Cloud Company (Retail, 1001-5000 employees) Chose AWS Lambda When we use Lambda, we do not need to worry about the infrastructure and costs. AWS can handle it all on its own. For an optimum use case, one can always use AWS Lambda along with API Gateway and Route 53 for the best use case. Cloudwatch can help you identify any issues and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Lambda We also use Google Cloud Functions because we use GCP in addition to AWS. AWS Lambda is comparable to Google Cloud Functions in its functionality. The main advantage of going with one or the other has to do with what resources it will interact with--we use AWS Lambda to … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Jenkins Senior Systems Reliability Engineer in Corporate at The Walt Disney Company (Entertainment, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Lambda I have used Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions. In comparison, AWS Lambda is a bit more difficult to configure out of the gate. But in most cases once the function is in place and running the operation becomes completely hands-off. While I've used Azure Functions and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Lambda Each service has its purpose. With EC2 you can provision servers for customers and internal projects.

Barry Burd Professor at Drew University (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose AWS Lambda I've used Google Cloud Functions to create apps for Google Home devices.

Verified User Chose AWS Lambda All our stacks are in AWS currently, we are planning to go multi-cloud soon. Incentivized Helpful?

Jesse Bickel, MS - PMP Sr. IT Project Manager in Information Technology at CaptureRx (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Lambda We really did not evaluate them against other products except a little Google research, we are a centralized AWS customer so it was a smooth and simple (even if blind) decision for us. Incentivized Helpful? Jacob Biguvu Application DBA/DB Engineer in Information Technology at Capital One (Financial Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Lambda Jenkins is a solution for CD/CI pipelines.

Verified User Chose AWS Lambda AWS is a much more mature platform than Microsoft Azure but is a lot more rigid in the portability perspective. If you are in it for the long run then Lambda is great and the best choice. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Lambda Since our company heavily relies on AWS already, my team did not consider any other serverless platforms when building our applications.

Verified User Chose AWS Lambda These are all AWS sister products, so I wouldn't say they are competitors but tools in the same box.
