AWS unveils a new performance optimization feature called Lambda SnapStart, designed to improve startup times for latency-sensitive applications, and initially aimed at Java developers.

AWS Lambda Java example If you’re a Java developer and you haven’t built an AWS Lambda function before, you’ll be amazed by how easy it is to get your first serverless application up and running.

AWS Lambda SnapStart cuts Java startup times by initializing Java functions ahead of time and caching a snapshot of the initialized execution environment.

In Part 2, you’ll integrate your Lambda function with DynamoDB, then use the AWS SDK to invoke Lambda functions in a Java application. What is serverless computing?

AWS today announced Lambda SnapStart, a new feature of its serverless platform that virtually eliminates cold start times.
