Lambda Kata is a high-performance runtime that removes cold starts and stabilizes p95, p99 latency for Node.js Lambda functions. Predictable performance for mission-critical serverless workloads.
Lambda Kata is an infrastructure-level runtime for Node.js on AWS Lambda that eliminates the most damaging source of unpredictability in serverless: cold starts and noisy tail latency. It replaces the default execution path with a highly optimized runtime so that functions execute with stable p95/p99 behavior under real production load, even as traffic patterns change. The product is delivered as a managed Lambda Layer and an integration library for CDK and other deployment frameworks. Teams keep their existing Node.js code and APIs, while Lambda Kata takes responsibility for the underlying execution characteristics reducing latency spikes, improving user experience, and making Lambda a safe foundation for mission-critical services.
Highlights
Cloud financial management platforms rely on accurate, timely calculations and reports that often run on event-driven, micro-batch, or API-driven workloads in the cloud. Lambda Kata makes Node.js Lambda functions more deterministic and efficient, reducing billed duration and smoothing latency so cost analytics, allocations, and chargeback models are based on stable, predictable execution rather than noisy infrastructure behavior.
Real-time market data systems depend on low-latency, highly predictable processing of quotes, trades, and signals, where p95/p99 behavior is just as important as average response time. Lambda Kata stabilizes Node.js Lambda execution under bursty, real-world load, helping trading, pricing, and risk services ingest and react to market data with consistent tail latencies, fewer cold-start surprises, and stronger SLA compliance.
IT and platform teams are under pressure to reduce spend while keeping performance and reliability intact, especially in serverless environments where costs are tightly coupled to execution time. Lambda Kata reduces waste in Node.js Lambda functions by optimizing initialization and execution paths, cutting billed milliseconds and taming unpredictable spikes, so organizations can run the same workloads with lower spend and more confidence in their cost models.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Lambda Kata uses a single usage-based pricing dimension. You pay per AWS Lambda invocation that Lambda Kata processes. There are no tiers, instance sizes, or fixed commitments. Your cost scales directly with how many Lambda invocations run through the product. The more invocations you process, the more you pay; fewer invocations mean a smaller bill. This keeps billing tied to actual activity rather than a flat subscription. Any underlying AWS service usage in your own account is billed separately by AWS at standard rates.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one invocation for billing with Lambda Kata?
One invocation is a single AWS Lambda function execution that Lambda Kata processes. Each time your optimized Node.js function runs, that call counts once. The meter tracks how many of these invocations pass through the product, and your charge scales with that count.
Am I charged when my Lambda functions are idle and not running?
No. You pay only per invocation that Lambda Kata processes. When your functions sit idle and receive no calls, no invocations register, so no software charges accrue. Costs follow actual function activity, not provisioned time or standby state.
Does Lambda Kata cover the AWS costs of running my Lambda functions?
No. Lambda Kata charges only per invocation it processes. Any AWS service usage in your own account, including the underlying Lambda execution and related resources, is billed separately by AWS at standard rates. These appear on your AWS bill, not as part of the product charge.

NASA data for cosmic microwave background (CMB) analysis is made available here by the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA), which is a part of NASA's High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC). LAMBDA hosts the data archives of over 30 different CMB missions spanning 30+ years. The data archive for each mission may contain a range of data types from low-level time-ordered data to high level science-ready products such as sky maps and angular power spectra. Also provided in consistent formats are a variety of full sky maps in complementary wavebands that are useful for CMB analysis, such as maps of radio synchrotron or infrared dust emission.
Data provided here are normally stored in the generic Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format common in astronomy. Sky maps are generally provided in the Hierarchical Equal-Area isoLatitude Pixelization (HEALPix
