text: **Launch functions faster with SnapStart**
  
  Lambda SnapStart for Java can improve startup performance by up to 10x at no extra cost, 
  
  typically with no changes to your function code. The largest contributor to startup latency (often 
  
  referred to as cold start time) is the time that Lambda spends initializing the function, which 
  
  includes loading the function's code, starting the runtime, and initializing the function code.
