Absolutely. I've done some work with Lambda, and the cold start times for Java and C# were horrendous. Node and Python were pretty fast. I would expect Go to be more the latter than the former, with the added advantage of running really fast as well (and not being JavaScript), so my advice to my former colleagues on implementation language for a Lambda-based solution would be different if that pans out...
- chronid 9y agoIn my case when I gave Java a bigger allocation of RAM I got far better result (and it usually got even faster than the equivalent Python/NodeJS code). At the time at least (I don't know right now, it's been a long while since I touched a lambda function) it seemed that the bigger RAM share == the more CPU you get, which was not written anywhere in the documetation. And JVM startup times with crappy CPUs are indeed horrible. :)
