Using SnapStart and restoring from a snapshot often changes how you create functions. You can run init up to 15 minutes with this feature. The time to run your publish version depends on your init code. Once you’ve enabled SnapStart, Lambda publishes all subsequent versions with snapshots. Select the Versions tab and choose Publish new.Choose Edit and change the SnapStart attribute to PublishedVersions.To enable or disable this functionality in the AWS Management Console: This project deploys with SnapStart already enabled. Use the AWS SAM CLI to deploy the resources to your AWS account: sam deploy -g.Use the AWS SAM CLI to build the application: sam build.Clone the git repository and change to project directory: git clone Ĭd serverless-patterns/apigw-lambda-snapstart.

You must install the AWS SAM CLI to deploy this example.

This sample includes infrastructure as code to deploy the application using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). This Spring Boot application uses a REST controller to handle CRUD requests. To demonstrate SnapStart, I use a sample application that saves records into Amazon DynamoDB. SnapStart allows you to use frameworks like Spring and not compromise tail latency. If the functionality that these frameworks bring is implemented at runtime, then they often contribute to latency in startup time. You often only restart them when there is an application version change. The startup time is minimal compared to the running duration. When first created, frameworks didn’t have to consider startup time because they run on application servers, which run for long periods of time. Using SnapStartĪpplication frameworks such as Spring give developers an enormous productivity gain by reducing the amount of boilerplate code they write to accomplish common tasks. To learn more about this process and the function states, read the documentation. Wait until the function reaches the Active state, and then invoke it again.

Lambda sends a SnapStartNotReadyException and begins initializing a new snapshot in the background, during which the function version remains in Pending state. When you try to invoke a function version that is inactive, the invocation fails. This results in a lower startup latency.Ī function version activated with SnapStart transitions to an inactive state if it remains idle for 14 days, after which Lambda deletes the snapshot. When the function is first invoked and then scaled, Lambda resumes the execution environment from the persisted snapshot instead of initializing from scratch. It takes an encrypted snapshot of the initialized execution environment, and persists the snapshot in a tiered cache for low latency access. With SnapStart, when a customer publishes a function version, the Lambda service initializes the function’s code. SnapStart addresses this concern directly for Java-based Lambda functions. Although these workarounds help reduce the startup latency, users must spend time on some heavy lifting instead of focusing on delivering business value. To address this challenge, customers either provision resources ahead of time, or spend effort building relatively complex performance optimizations. For interactive workloads that are sensitive to start-up latencies, this can cause suboptimal end user experience. This includes loading the function’s code and initializing dependencies. Today, for Lambda’s function invocations, the largest contributor to startup latency is the time spent initializing a function. This feature enables customers to achieve up to 10x faster function startup performance for Java functions, at no additional cost, and typically with minimal or no code changes.
