When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. You can go from code to service in three clicks and then let AWS Lambda take care of the rest.

Then they tried to scale it to cope with high traffic and discovered that some of the state transitions in their step functions were too frequent, and they had some overly chatty calls between AWS lambda functions and S3. They state in the blog that this was quick to build, which is the point.

Unlocking the value of data is a primary goal that AWS helps our customers to pursue. Some applications may also rely on timely decisions: when maneuvering heavy machinery, an absolute minimum of latency is critical.

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. A low-latency autoscaling KVS can serve as both global storage and a DHT-like overlay network. Oh, and there’s a scheduler too of course to keep all the plates spinning.

those resources now belong to cloud providers, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and others. However, when the time comes for resources to be requested, there can be latency in the time it takes to for that code to start back up. The time it takes between an action and a response is latency.

After all, we’ve been doing that forever with the 2nd-level cache of ORMs , and it is highly encouraged in e.g. the AWS Lambda programming model — which was born on the cloud— to help mitigate function start-up times.

I was a little restricted in my thinking the first time around and I’ve come to see FaaS as something not quite stateless, since caching state in a Lambda instance that might stick around for 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable idea. I also rewrote the section on Startup Latency since Cold Starts are one of the big “FUD” areas of Serverless.

In fact, this is been proven by our customers as Amazon Aurora remains the fastest growing service in AWS history.

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. This allows for faster failover times while minimizing latency. The client keeps a map of Redis nodes, which is updated in case of failover.
