Cold Start Mitigation

Provisioned concurrency keeps N initialized environments permanently warm — cold starts vanish for traffic within N, but you pay for the capacity whether invoked or not. SnapStart (Java, Python, .NET) instead snapshots the initialized microVM and restores clones in sub-second time at no idle cost, but requires handling snapshot uniqueness (random seeds, connections re-established after restore).

This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
