About AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform that helps businesses run codes based on triggered events and facilitate application development processes. Supervisors can add custom logic to AWS resources, upload codes, create functions, and select memory, timeout period, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role according to requirements.
AWS Lambda allows organizations to automatically run defined functions and launch and manage compute resources based on incoming requests. Managers can create custom backend services for applications, package codes as a Lambda layer, and share them as functions.
AWS Lamba can be connected to existing Amazon Elastic File Systems (EFS), enabling businesses to streamline file and data processing operations.

It sounds easy but it's not that easy.

Pros
It allows the development of very heterogeneous applications thanks to its strong flexibility. Another strong point is the price which is calculated only for the CPU time that is used.
Cons
It is so flexible, but just as difficult to debug if something is working correctly and you cannot establish a base cost given its way of calculating costs.

Like if you have no knowledge about the server than AWS can fool you into considering that AWS is for every developer. However, One can buy there own server but you have to pay huge money from pocket

Even for a small change/integration, I have to use there other services which charge little money

We have Implemented our authentication module for one of our clients along with AWS Cognito. This module caters to about half a million users and works fine without any lagging. Since deployment, monitoring is quite easy too, this saves and a lot of time and cost as well.
Pros
AWS Lambda is a platform where you can implement REST services, Data Processing and many other things easily. What I love the most is the integration with 'Serverless' platform which support managing lambda service implementation, debugging, deployment & monitoring quite easily.
Cons
So far I haven't come across anything that made me concern about working with AWS Lambda.

Overall experience using AWS lambda is good, It is way cheaper than complete AWS EC2 Instance but it all design as per the need.
Pros
One of the best thing about AWS Lambda is it support multiple triggers from queue in real time like HTTP request. It provides easy and scalable solution.
Cons
The feature which can be improve or add in AWS lambda is it takes too much time consumption for creating the container and which should be reduce.
