Description: Provisioned concurrency is a key feature in the serverless computing realm that allows a specific number of function instances to be kept ready to respond to requests immediately. This functionality is essential for applications that require fast and consistent response times, as it avoids the latency that can occur when starting new function instances in response to traffic spikes. Instead of relying solely on automatic scaling, provisioned concurrency ensures that a predefined set of instances is always active and available, resulting in more predictable and efficient performance. This feature is particularly useful in situations where applications face variable workloads, allowing developers to optimize resource usage and enhance the end-user experience. Additionally, provisioned concurrency can help manage costs, as it enables organizations to balance resource availability with the expenses associated with running functions in a cloud environment.
