Not sure why you need a whole bunch of npm modules to do bit twiddling in a performance-sensitive lambda function. Sounds like you just don't like Javascript.

Not sure why you need a whole bunch of npm modules to do bit twiddling in a performance-sensitive lambda function. Sounds like you just don't like Javascript. Edit: You're spending like 80ms on cold-start of your lambda function, plus network overhead. If you can spare that, you can likely spare the half a millisecond for the 999,900 cycles you're complaining about.
