We decided to hide some EC2 instances in private subnets (VPC). Theyโre accessible via bastion hosts or via API (API Gateway & Lambda). Works well, but thereโs one weird issueโโโcold lambda start time is over 10s sometimes. We experienced even 15s. This is not acceptable and Iโm seeking for answers to my questions.
Does increased memory size help? Is this huge cold start time VPC related? Is there a difference when we do use another language? Read More...
We were using (and weโre still it using for some services) Docker Cloud. Main problem with DC is that they canโt handle private subnets. EC2 instance must be in the public subnet and thatโs not what we want. Hooray (irony), we have to switch to the EC2 Container Service. Try to explain this to our business department. Additional time for infrastructure. Can handle it, but itโs tough sometimes.

As a small start up, weโre playing with lot of technologies and we try to choose the best ones. Okay, sometimes not because of money constraints, but weโre trying.

I mean API Gateway, Lambda, EC2, ECS, DynamoDB, etc. Counted them, AWS provides 51 services. Some of them are perfect, some of them still needs polishing, but theyโre pretty good generally speaking.
