how long does it take to deploy a serverless function?

HOW TO -️ October 18, 2021

using any method - cli, serverless.com, terraform, roughly:

how much time can i expect to pass between these two steps:

  1. submitting a new function to AWS (or azure or GCF), and
  2. having that function hosted live in the cloud?

note that i'm not asking about cold start times.

i'm wondering how long it takes new function code to be entered into and hosted in the AWS lambda system (or azure, ibm, google etc) for a given region. that is, after taking steps to deploy some new lambda/serverless function code, approximately how soon will i be able to use it?

Answer

just found this article where the author said it took about 3 minutes for AWS https://read.acloud.guru/does-coding-language-memory-or-package-size-affect-cold-starts-of-aws-lambda-a15e26d12c76
