  3. AWS

  4. • First invocation • After deployment or configuration change •

    Instances killed due to age • Scaling out and existing instances busy Cold start frequency
  5. • NO: Most likely not when using Node.js, Go, Python,

    … • MAYBE: Java (JVM) / .NET Are cold starts a big deal? * When used and optimized correctly
  6. • NO: Asynchronous architectures - Event-Driven architectures are a best

    practise • NO: Batch processing • NO: User facing service with normal traffic patterns* - No problem for 99th percentile • MAYBE: User facing service with occasional traffic* • MAYBE: User facing service with lots of spread spiky traffic* Are cold starts a big deal? (Java/.NET edition) * When used and optimized correctly
  7. • Keep function single purposed* • Minimize dependencies - webpack,

    serverless-optimizer-plugin, … • Use lightweight alternatives - Spring vs Dagger, Apache HTTP vs HttpUrlConnection • Prefer low overhead runtime (Go, node.js, Python) - Consider GraalVM - … possibly consider Provisioned Concurrency Minimize bootstrap
  8. • Initialize as much as you can during startup -

    Static fields, constructor • Move state to global - But keep your invocations stateless • Avoid reflection • Fail fast • Right size memory usage - 1792 MB = 1 vCPU Optimize execution time
  9. • AWS re:Invent 2019: [REPEAT 1] Best practices for AWS

    Lambda and Java (SVS403-R1) @sapessi ... more on AWS Lambda and Java • How to minimize AWS Lambda Java cold starts @drissamri88 • Programming AWS Lambda by John Chapin, Mike Roberts • Analyzing Cold Start latency of AWS Lambda @mikebroberts
  10. Infrastructure-as-code AWS • Serverless Framework • Terraform • Pulumi •

    CloudFormation • Serverless Application Model (SAM) • Cloud Development Kit (CDK) 3th party
  11. Serverless Framework • Most widely used Serverless toolkit • Released

    in 2015 • Simple Developer Experience • Focus on Functions, not Cloud Infrastructure • Cloud-agnostic - AWS provider: - Compiles to CloudFormation - deployed as CloudFormation Stack
  12. AWS SAM • Official AWS deployment framework • Released in

    2016 • Built on top of CloudFormation - Deployed as CloudFormation Stack
  13. AWS SAM CLI sam init --runtime java11 sam package \

    --output-template-file packaged.yaml \ --s3-bucket bucketname sam deploy \ --template-file packaged.yaml \ --stack-name sam-app \ --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM \ --region eu-west-1 aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name sam-app
