Let’s check out why. TJ Holowaychuk on Medium.com Even though you can't fully rely on them, our experimentation has shown that global variables can be used for some opportunistic caching. Amazon Lambda launches a number of computer instances to run function invocations, and keeps them alive for an unspecified period of time, which may be several hours. During this time, Lambda functions can access cached data previously stored in global variables. When a function invocation happens to run on a fresh instance, data has to be fetched from a more persistent source again. Amazon AWS Lambda data caching solutions compared

Very nice, focussed reference! Purpose As a developer whose first programming language is Swift, I've taken online courses from major platforms. However, I have been frustrated by a lack of detailed explanations from instructors. They tend to focus on final products, thus missing out the fundamentals. I was confused by which design principles to follow, and why. After I've been blogging for the last 5 months, I've discovered this isn't the only problem of mine.
