I wouldn't even go that far. They are not measuring anything that any real-world application would do. Heck, it's not even a todo app, it's just a "200 OK hello".

It's more like "AWS lambda function invocation overhead for Go is comparable to AWS lambda function invocation overhead for Java".

Sure but if you start adding in language specific Web frameworks / json handling / db work you're no longer testing AWS.

I agree there's questionable value here but at least it's bring constrained to as few variables as possible.

Benchmarking the lambda-add latency is something that is useful as long as it's called out as such a benchmark.
