Lambda function with GraalVM Native Image - Part 4 Measuring cold and warm starts using different Lambda memory settings

Introduction

In the we measured the performance (cold and warm start times) of the Lambda function with 1024 MB of memory using this approach.

In this article we'll measure cold and warms starts of the Lambda with different memory settings between 256 and 1536 MBs to explore the tradeoff between cost and performance.

Measuring cold and warm starts of Lambda function with Custom Runtime containing GraalVM Native Image with different memory settings

We'll re-use exact the same experiment described in the and have a very good price performance trade off with 768 MB or even a bit less memory.

At the time of publishing also newer versions became available (like GraalVM 23 runtime), so you case make the version changes and re-compile GraalVM Native image following the instructions from the part 2 of the series and re-measure the performance.
