AWS Lambda Provisioned Concurrency: Build High-performance Serverless Applications at Scale

Simform

AWS Lambda provides various benefits such as scalability, cost-efficiency, high availability, and more. But it also introduces cold starts and latency, decelerating your applications’ performance. This blog discusses how Lambda provisioned concurrency reduces cold starts and improves the speed and performance of your applications.

Embrace event-driven computing: Amazon expands DynamoDB with streams, cross-region replication, and database triggers

All Things Distributed

DynamoDB Streams is the enabling technology behind two other features announced today: cross-region replication maintains identical copies of DynamoDB tables across AWS regions with push-button ease, and triggers execute AWS Lambda functions on streams, allowing you to respond to changing data conditions. Let me expand on each one of them.

Cloudburst: stateful functions-as-a-service

The Morning Paper

On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. Cross-function communication should work at wire speed. A low-latency autoscaling KVS can serve as both global storage and a DHT-like overlay network.

Formal foundations of serverless computing

The Morning Paper

For example, to reduce latency, serverless platforms try to reuse the same function instance to process multiple requests. Serverless functions are stateless , but can opportunistically reuse cached state across invocations to speed up start times. Lambda operational semantics. is the composition property.
