The AWS Developers Podcast

In this episode, Emily and Dave chat with Tarun Rai Madan, Sr. Product Manager for AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda SnapStart for Java offers up to 10x faster function startup performance at no extra cost. Lambda SnapStart is a performance optimization that makes it easier for you to build highly responsive and scalable Java applications using AWS Lambda, without having to provision resources or spend time and effort implementing complex performance optimizations. Tarun walks us through what this new feature means for developers, how the Lambda team was able to create such improved performance, and how developers can enable it today.
