JS is a great choice for Lambda thanks to great cold performance. I’m seeing runtimes in the 40ms to 100ms range.

Most of the time in Lambda is usually spent waiting for IO, which is slow in any language. If you’re using Lambda for heavy computation, that’s not a great choice.

Yep, we ran ~50M Node invocations last month on a small function. AVG was around 100ms but lots of sub 50ms invocations too.
