AWS Lambda now supports SnapStart for container image functions

Starting today, AWS Lambda supports SnapStart for functions packaged as container images , reducing startup times from several seconds to as low as sub-second. Lambda SnapStart is an opt-in capability that makes it easier for you to build highly responsive and scalable applications without provisioning resources or implementing complex performance optimizations. Customers deploy Lambda functions with container images to align with their organization’s container-based deployment standards, or to package larger dependencies up to 10 GB.
