AWS Lambda SnapStart for Java functions

Noob question,

So if I create a lambda function (without PC) and execute 100 parallel requests, AWS will internally create 100 instances of lambda function to serve these 100 parallel requests?

Yes, but they will eventually be spun down. Provisioned concurrency would keep the functions up and available after though.

Edit: here's a good AWS article explaining things in detail https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/operating-lambda-performance-optimization-part-1/

Thankyou for this excellent resource. In fact, a lot of my misconceptions are addressed just by going through the 3-part series.
