Does that mean it’s just old style slow code from an interpreter? I can certainly see how that would substantially reduce cpu and memory cost but the code would execute 50-250x slower.

If startup time is relevant to you then you are probably not doing much computation in the first place.

Makes sense for a project like that. Lambdas are mostly used to glue AWS APIs anyways
