What's it like running JVM inside serverless? Python gets interesting enough when it pauses waiting for another call sometimes, the JVM seems like it'd introduce its own interesting things :o
We wanted to investigate using the native AWS java lambdas with snapstart and/or using parallel GC, but the place I used them at a year ago was under the tyranny of product having complete control of our backlog, so we didn't get to go that far with it or even more serious tech debt for that matter.
More memory may or may not even be much of an issue depending on your workload. If you can handle the odd OOM error it would have been fine, but for our use case lambdas were so cheap that it didn't really matter, outside of us techies preferring to do it "right". Having the max execution time be less than 15m could also minimize the heap bloat at the cost of more cold starts.
