AWS Lambda vs Azure Functions

AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service software that executes a code in response to the triggered events. It automatically manages all the computing resources for streamlining regular operations. AWS Lambda runs high-availability network infrastructure code (response to events from more than 150 natively integrated AWS and SaaS sources – all without any server management) and performs all computer resource management, including server and operating system maintenance, automated scaling and power provisioning, code and security patch deployment, code monitoring and logging.

Key Functionalities:

  • Develop custom services for the back-end

  • Extend, with custom logic, other AWS services

  • Absolutely Automated Administration Absolutely

Advantages of AWS Lambda:

  • Cheap

  • Quick

  • Stateless

  • Extensive API

  • Event-Driven Governance

  • Autoscale and cost-effective

  • VPC Support

  • Integrated with various AWS services

  • Better graphical view

Azure Functions

Azure Function is a serverless, compute-on-demand experience built by Microsoft that expands the existing Azure application platform with code deployment capabilities caused by events occurring on Azure or third-party services as well as on-site systems. Unlike AWS Lambda, Azure Functions offers multiple feature deployment options, such as One Drive, GitHub, Kudu Console, DropBox, Visual Studio, and Zip.

Key Features:

  • Easily schedule event-driven tasks across services

  • Expose Functions as HTTP API endpoints

  • Scale Functions based on customer demand

Advantages of Azure Function:

  • Great developer experience for C#

  • Multiple languages supported

  • Great debugging support

  • Easy Scalability

  • Can be used as a lightweight HTTPS service

  • Azure component events for Storage, services, etc

  • Event-driven

  • Webhooks
