Very cool. At your scale have you noticed any problems with cold start latencies?

I know cold starts are an issue when services have a lull in usage, and that you can work around it. But I'm curious whether cold starts also happen when there's a surge in demand and AWS needs to spin up more containers or whatever it uses to host Lambdas.

We haven't seen any issues. Most of our latency critical functions are called a lot. We do get significant spikes in traffic but our CDN does handle some of that load.
