CRaCking the Cold Start

Microservice architecture deployed to function as a service infrastructure (also known as serverless) allows you to flexibly and closely align capacity to usage, with preserving ease of development and operate. However, if you work with serverless architectures, you know that this kind of solution is not exactly the first choice for the JVM ecosystem. The main and biggest problem is the "cold start" - and mainly because of that, JVM often is not considered as a valuable solution to build on top of serverless platforms. However, a combination of best practices, appropriate tooling, and features of available in AWS cloud can mitigate that.With the elements mentioned above, there is a simple path to using JVM-based solutions effectively in AWS. In this talk, you will learn how Amazon Corretto, JVM tuning, and CRaC snapshotting are changing everything regarding the usage of AWS Lambda with JVM-based solutions.
