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. When an application is triggered, it can cause latency as the application starts. This creates latency when they need to restart.

A lot of people surmise that TTFB is merely time spent on the server, but that is only a small fraction of the true extent of things. 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. But what else is TTFB? Expect closer to 75ms.
