AWS Lambda now supports SnapStart for Python and .NET functions

News



The article announces that AWS Lambda now supports SnapStart for Python and .NET functions, enabling sub-second startup performance for these runtimes.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • Lambda SnapStart initializes the function's code ahead of time, caches the initialized environment, and resumes new environments from the cached snapshot, significantly improving startup latency.
  • It is ideal for latency-sensitive applications with unpredictable traffic bursts, such as synchronous APIs, interactive microservices, data processing, and ML inference.
  • SnapStart for Python 3.12+ and .NET 8+ is generally available in several AWS regions, including US East, US West, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
  • Users can activate SnapStart via various AWS services and tools, including the Lambda API, Console, CLI, CloudFormation, SAM, SDK, and CDK.
  • Pricing information for SnapStart on Python and .NET is available on the AWS Lambda Pricing page.
