7. Eliminating Java cold starts with AWS Lambda Managed Instances
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda Managed Instances eliminate Java cold starts, providing a way to keep the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) warm and optimized. This matters for latency-sensitive applications with p99 SLA requirements, as a single cold start can violate response time guarantees. Managed Instances allow for long-running JVM processes.
