You might want to check out IronFunctions that was released last week: https://github.com/iron-io/functions . You can run Lambda functions anywhere, can even export/import them directly from Lambda. It doesn't have the burst to Lambda part you speak of though... yet.

Unfortunately, Docker has a fair bit of overhead, more on that here: https://medium.com/travis-on-docker/the-overhead-of-docker-r... . That said, the overhead is probably not a big deal in a lot of cases.
And for the those cases, where it is a big deal, the next two major milestones on the roadmap aim to work around that issue, namely hot containers and streaming input. https://github.com/iron-io/functions#roadmap . Once that's in place, it should perform similar to any API.

Yes, Java is supported. Like the other comment, anything you can run in a Docker container, which is pretty much any language. It also supports the same format/structure as Lambda in Java.

Yes, both are supported. See the main README for how to use both.
