What is a "cold start" in AWS Lambda, and what factors influence its duration?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) A cold start happens when Lambda initializes a new environment (downloading code, starting the runtime, running init code) before a request, unlike a "warm" invocation reusing one; runtime, package size, VPC config, and memory affect its duration
Correct Answer
A cold start happens when Lambda initializes a new environment (downloading code, starting the runtime, running init code) before a request, unlike a "warm" invocation reusing one; runtime, package size, VPC config, and memory affect its duration
Cold starts add latency due to environment setup; choosing lighter runtimes, reducing deployment package size, using Provisioned Concurrency, and minimizing VPC attachment (which historically added ENI setup time) can reduce cold start impact.
