Have your Serverless Kotlin Functions and Eat Them Too
JVM functions are notorious for running slowly on serverless platforms, like AWS Lambda. You may have decided to give up on Kotlin and written your functions in a dynamic language like Python. But it doesn't have to be this way.
You can have your Serverless Kotlin Functions and you can eat them too. You can have the safety and productivity of Kotlin, without having to compromise on performance or cost. Join me on this journey as we discover the biggest factors affecting cold-start performance, and find the best libraries to work around them. By the end, we'll have a high performing server with a cold-start rivaling the fastest runtimes.
