Cold starts in AWS Lambda are often misunderstood, leading to misconceptions about their frequency, duration, and impact. Various factors influence cold start duration, including choice of runtime, configuration settings, and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) involvement.
AWS provides strategies like SnapStart, Provisioned Concurrency, and VPC networking improvements to manage and mitigate cold starts. A case study on building a low-latency control plane API backend illustrates the effective management of Lambda cold starts.
