This is only a single environment for multi-concurrency (compared to previous Lambda Event model which was a single environment per request). Lambda can scale to huge numbers of environments. See https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/exploring-aws-lambda-we... for more information

Thanks, Have a look at our Lambda roadmap for Web Functions which shows some of the things we're already working on: https://github.com/orgs/aws/projects/286/views/1?filterQuery...

I've written up how they work in practice: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/exploring-aws-lambda-we... We also have a selection of code samples to try it: https://serverlessland.com/patterns?services=lambda-web-func...

Hi, I work for AWS in the Serverless team. Yes you can run Api Gateway and Lambda locally for testing. Have a look at AWS SAM. https://github.com/aws/serverless-application-model

Hi, I work in the AWS Serverless Team. Just to say, the performance of running a container image is pretty much the same as a function packaged as a zip function. We cache the container images near where the function runs so startup time isn't any worse than ZIP.

This should make things easier if you're mature in container tooling. AWS SAM recently added much better support for Lambda Layers, and you can use makefiles etc. there. In fact, I would say building layers with SAM is probably the easiest way to build layers! Now you get to try with container images.

There's going to be a lot more information coming about this over the next 3 weeks during re:Invent. A good outside-AWS blog post is this one: https://twitter.com/hichaelmart/status/1333837825222078466

Yes, with the new container image support, you can use the same docker or ECR images to build, and test your functions locally, and run them on Lambda. Consistent images is super useful.

We optimize and cache the image so cold starts times should be the same as with zip functions.
