Research: Cold starts / Edge runtime #605

Closed jarstelfox closed 1 year ago

jarstelfox commented 2 years ago

Vercel has some docs around cold start claims:

Vercel Serverless Functions (which use AWS Lambda) ... When a lambda function starts for the first time, it’s a cold start. Cold starts typically occur in under 1% of invocations. The duration of a cold start varies from under 100 ms to over 1 second.

Those docs suggest we may be able to nearly eliminate cold starts with Edge Functions:

Vercel now also has experimental support for Edge Functions, which use a more constrained runtime than Node.js, enabling greater performance with near-zero cold starts.

We're improving site speed by caching expensive API requests. Let's close this issue and revisit only if performance fails to meet expectations after caching is in place.
