Maybe it shares a beam instance per AWS account. Definitely curious about the isolation level of lambda in general since the same comment also applies to the JV

This means AWS would keep a beam instance running for you the entire time? I doubt that

  I assume it'll cold boot one up for you if you didn't already have on running on first request, keep it around for a while, and when it becomes idle for a while, shut it down. There's a lot of blog content out there to try to ping lambda enough so the instance stays around to avoid the cold boot issue.

    If only there were a feature of lambda where it stayed up all the time...

      EC2 ?

      Never having a cold boot isn't quite the same as being able to set a minimum concurrency level, though both would be very valuable. At re:invent this year, someone on the Lambda team indicated that they were working on something in this space, but couldn't say exactly what, or give any real timeline.
