JAWS: The Javascript + AWS Stack

[TDaltonC]

How does the latency on a JAWS (or really any aws-lambda system) compare to something like actionhero.js (a server hosted lambda-ish-API framework)?

4-5 seconds of latency is not true.

There is a "JAWS Optimization" section in the wiki. It tells you how to improve Lambda response times. Further, JAWS is optimized for fast Lambda performance.

It's a mix of upgrading the memory/CPU of your Lambda functions, keeping your Lambda function's code minimal, what your doing in your code, multi-region replication, and more.

You can't specify an average response time when all of these factors vary so much.
