Benchmarking Cloudflare Containers vs. AWS MicroVMs
Cold start benchmarks highlight AWS MicroVMs' speed and consistency over Cloudflare containers.
We benchmarked cold starts for AWS Lambda MicroVMs and Cloudflare Containers, revealing that AWS MicroVMs provide faster and more predictable performance. While Cloudflare's containers showed significant latency variability, AWS MicroVMs maintained consistent boot times, which is crucial for enhancing user experience. This predictability allows engineers to design applications with reliable performance metrics.
