Conquering the Cold Start Challenge: Techniques to Avoid Cold Start in Cloud Architectures
In today’s digital landscape, cloud computing has become the backbone of modern applications and services. Cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure offer vast computing resources that can be scaled up or down on-demand. However, one of the challenges developers face when working with serverless architectures is the “cold start” problem. Cold start occurs when a function or container is invoked for the first time, leading to delayed response times. In this article, we will explore the concept of cold start, its impact on application performance, and discuss some techniques to mitigate it using AWS and Azure as examples.
