Lambda cold start time for a .NET app that made a SQL connection and then did a simple count command was multiple seconds. Not useful for production.

- abrookewood 10y agoThat totally depends on what you are doing. We use Lambda to generate thumbnails of documents that are uploaded to one of our applications. I can throw 600-800 pages at it and because it calls a Lambda function per page, the whole thing finishes in less than 10 seconds. No need to scale instances and no need to worry about running out of RAM on our servers. The cold start also gets less after the initial run.
- skrowl 10y agoYeah. I could see it for batch processing. It's just not suitable for real time / API work that I was hoping to use it for.
- abrookewood 10y agoYes, it's not necessarily going to work for things like that - the start up time alone would make it useless.
- jlardinois 10y agoI think this is the jargon-y-est comment I've ever read.
