Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Adopt conditionally after measuring representative traffic and costs.

Why
Production accounts and benchmarks support useful runtime performance, while shared CPU contention and changed billing meters require workload-specific controls.
Next
Compare CPU, memory and invocation charges; rebuild spending alerts and load-test CPU-heavy handlers and shared module state before expanding rollout.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Concurrent CPU-heavy handlers can degrade neighboring requests.
  • Spending alerts must track the new CPU and memory meters.
  • Memory remains billable during in-flight I/O waits.
  • Shared module state requires request isolation.
  • Published benchmarks do not establish application-specific billing savings.
