Unlike standard Lambda, execution environments can handle multiple concurrent requests, you pay for uptime rather than execution time (EC2 cost plus 15% premium), and there are no cold starts but slower scaling. Best suited for high-throughput workloads with consistent traffic where cost efficiency matters, but not ideal for bursty or unpredictable traffic patterns. Code must be thread-safe to handle concurrent requests safely. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
