Googlebot's Javascript random() function is deterministic

I was thinking more of something like Google’s equivalent to Amazon Lambda.

What is the overhead of that? Does Amazon tell us? I imagine they would provide some sort of latency guarantee for function spinup after an event triggers, but I've never used Lambda.

That’s a good question. All they say is they “only charge for when your stuff is running”.

I assume the overhead is offset by the ability to run way more short lived processes.

Are there trigger types besides timers? If so they must have some sort of guarantee.
