The case for containers on Lambda (with benchmarks)

• cold-start-benchmarker

  1 4 4.5 JavaScript

I created a cold start by updating the function configuration (setting a new environment variable), and then sending a simple test request. The code for this project is open source. I also streamed this entire process live on twitch.

• benchmarks

  1 2 2.8 JavaScript

These nuances are covered in my talk at AWS re:Invent if you want to dig deeper on the topic of cold starts. All of these individual projects are available on GitHub.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• aws-lambda-web-adapter

  Run web applications on AWS Lambda

  

Using the excellent Lambda web adapter extension with a container, you can very easily move a function from Lambda to Fargate or Apprunner if cost becomes an issue. This optionality is of high value, and shouldn't be overlooked.
