Regarding latency of AWS Lambda:

I'm getting latency of 66ms to 126ms with some simple Java code running on AWS Lambda using provisioned concurrency. I find the latency is just fine for most use cases.

"using provisioned concurrency"

What's the point of using Lambda if you have to provision capacity for it?

You pay a premium on the compute because it's able to scale down to zero (so in theory, it works out cheaper anyway), but in reality it only works well when you do everything in your power to have it not scale down to zero.

For my use case, it is still much cheaper than having a dedicated VM.
