This allows teams to sidestep much of the cost and time associated with managing hardware, platforms, and operating systems on-premises, while also gaining the flexibility to scale rapidly and efficiently. Every time the trigger executes, the function runs on an available resource. This creates latency when they need to restart.

The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections. Armed with this knowledge, we can soon understand why TTFB can often increase so dramatically on mobile.
