Honest question not being sarcastic: if this cold start latency is so important why chose function over elastic beanstalk or other auto-scaling type system?
Answer could help us try something new. We currently use large google app engine 'apps' after failing to get functions to scale quick enough (and hit limits). we have SUPER bursty traffic that needs to scale up to hundreds of instances very fast.

- piva00 7y agoWay cheaper given a particular workload and access pattern*, Lambda is not magical and its pricing is tricky to figure out until you have something running.
- inopinatus 7y agoCold start of an instance is still slower and larger grained.
