How to choose between AWS Lambda Vs Azure Functions?
AWS Lambda and Azure have gained popularity in the developer’s community for serverless computing systems. Developers can install more codes without giving the associated servers and tools much thought. The question, however, remains which provider should you go with. So, let us look at a detailed comparison between AWS Lambda and Azure Functions.
AWS Lambda
The key offerings of AWS Lambda are its custom back-end services, and their Compute Savings plans which let you pay-as-you-go and save up approximately 17% of the cost. AWS enables its users to create code in built-in editors, work with private or public git-repositories and download the archive with the code and not worry about the infrastructure.
AWS Lambda manages all admin, infrastructure management, built-in logging with CloudWatch. Thus, you are only accountable for the code. Each time that an event happens the containers with a pre-determined environment deploy automatically to the server. With the growing number of parallel events, the containers grow too. The system is made to scale the flow of requests without asking for any configuration.
Advantages of AWS Lambda
1. Using Lambda with other Amazon Web Services offers huge potential and benefits for quick and easy integration.
2. AWS is an easy system to manage when compared to other serverless computing systems. It offers a user-friendly and hassle-free experience.
3. The scaling abilities of Lambda is one of the main highlights for opting for AWS. It lets you keep a track of change history and lets you scale the application for each trigger by executing code.
