Thanks for coming here to answer questions. Much appreciated!

Does each new Lambda cold start pull the entire image from the repo? Or if I derive from Lambda base images am I likely to get some of the layers already cached?

I'm trying to think about how the data transfer costs are going to each time the Lambda is instantiated. I didn't take this into account with Fargate and got burned when trying to trigger images on demand in a similar way.

This could replace my whole SQS / CloudWatch Events / Fargate setup using Lambda if I can figure out cold start costs ($ not time).
