Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless Community. Java is known for its high cold start times which may heavily impact the latencies of your application. But the times change: Community and AWS as a cloud provider improve things steadily for Java developers. In this talk we look at the best practices, features and possibilities AWS offers for the Java Serverless developers using Spring Boot to reduce the cold start times like GraalVM Native Image and AWS Lambda SnapStart based on CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) project
