The End of Cold Starts: Autonomous Concurrency - Nikhil Gopinath, Sedai

Cold starts are the #1 performance problem for Lambda users. Autonomous concurrency provides a solution with fewer cold starts than warmup strategies, and lower cost than provisioned concurrency. Sedai VP of ML, Nikhil Gopinath explains the underlying challenge of cold starts and presents the autonomous concurrency solution and compares it to traditional solutions.
