Let’s compare the performance of all supported runtimes + 2 custom runtimes (Rust and GraalVM).

Will compare cold start and warm.

Source code is here: https://github.com/Aleksandr-Filichkin/aws-lambda-runtimes-performance. It requires the minimum local setup(almost all is Dockerized)

  • NodeJs (14.x)
  • Python (3.9)
  • Go(1.x)
  • Ruby(2.7)
