A company uses serverless application architecture to process thousands of requests using AWS Lambda with Amazon DynamoDB as the database. The Amazon API Gateway REST API is used to invoke an AWS Lambda function that loads a large amount of data from the Amazon DynamoDB database. This results in cold start latencies of 7-10 seconds. The DynamoDB tables have already been configured with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) to reduce latency. Yet, customers report of application latency, especially during peak access hours. The application receives maximum traffic between 2 PM -5 PM every day and gradually reduces thereafter, reporting a minimum traffic post 8 PM. How should a DevOps engineer configure the AWS Lambda function to reduce its latency at all times?
