John, what is your workload (request per second) hitting API-Gateway? Your data seemed to suggest lambda is the reason for high latency, if I understand correctly. If so,

  1. may the reason be that your RPS was too low so that most lambda invocation is from cold start? (lambda kick off a container under the hood)
  2. may the reason be that your lambda logic was implemented by Java and people have noticed JVM start time issue

Could you share a bit more details?
