title: Can/will AWS API Gateway -> Lambda performance be improved?
body: <p>Has anyone found a solution to API Gateway latency issues?</p>
  
  <p>With a simple function testing API Gateway -> Lambda interaction, I regularly see cold starts in the 2.5s range, and once "warmed," response times in the 900ms - 1.1s range are typical.</p>
  
  <p>I understand the TLS handshake has its own overhead, but testing similar resources (AWS-based or general sites that I believe are not geo-distributed) from my location shows results that are half that, ~500ms.</p>
  
  <p>Is good news coming soon from AWS?</p>
  
  <p>(I've read everything I could find before posting.)</p>
