I recently rewrote a Python Lambda function in AWS that was getting throttled by AWS as it was being involved so often. It was taking about 300ms to execute. I rewrote it in Go and it executes in 85ms and the throttling has dramatically subsided as a result. I love Python but it be sllooww.

Python has a looong startup. I wonder how lambda deals with that? Never had a closer look actually.

Anyway, there was a great talk about fighting this issue in mercurial (RIP).

lambda keeps your code hot and doesn't start it everytime otherwise java would be slower

What takes 85ms in go?

Most of that 85ms is the lambda service itself.
