> Cold starts for Java serverless (lambda) are worse than scripting languages
I've run plenty of Java applications in Lambda and they are pretty fast (like done in a few minutes fast). I've yet to try SnapStart which can make those workloads even faster.
I have successfully written entirely serverless APIs in Go. It’s not a great fit for everyone, but was for our use-case. Cold-starts became a non-issue compared to Java.
