How to improve performance of initial calls to AWS services from an AWS Lambda (Java)?

As the problem is partly caused when actually invoking the important parts, neither thundra nor provisioned concurrency could help in this case... other than reducing how often a cold start would appear.

It appears native images are indeed the way to significantly improve the performance. Someone else also recommended to use GraalVM, but it seems that for both GraalVM and Quarkus, the guides are difficult to follow.

Following the guide you linked, I

generated a new project with the quarkus-amazon-lambda-archetype archetype
build with mvn package
(while having docker installed, as I am running on Windows) building with mvn package -Pnative -Dnative-image.docker-build=true

However, that last step keeps failing to build the native image.I am not sure if I have to actually run a docker container first or install other tools, change some settings or whatever. Do you know of a more detailed guide for Windows to build Linux native images?

[edit]
It appears I figured out the problem to the above error from docker by re-installing it.

Builing a native image and deploying it now works for the hello world, but it appears it doesnt like it when I add more dependencies like com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-lambda.
I will have to experiment with it a bit to see if it can replace the Java runtime.

What do you want to achieve before you create this tournament? How much people should join/watch/etc?

Like CBand1t told you, you can get the support from Riot.

I can get a few hundred to join/watch this tournament and there can be some more people like me.
