Java’s initialization process tends to be more resource-intensive compared to Node.js, which is why the default settings in the console allocate a larger memory footprint and extended timeout. However, once the Java process is up and running, it generally performs faster for subsequent requests than Node.js. Our team is dedicated to enhancing the initialization speed to optimize the experience for those using cold or infrequent function calls.

Also, remember to create an S3 bucket in the same region as your Lambda function so that the Eclipse plugin can effectively stage your code uploads.
