Good work at CloudFlare. I personally figure that Amazon ought to be doing more interesting things with Lambda, like maybe starting the workers from a memory snapshot.

They do. After the cold start, things are just run in memory.

Java for example will keep your static variables and such in memory, and keep /tmp until you haven't called the lambda for a while.

With GoLang, they call start your program, and just call the handler method as required.
