Here's what loading 14 scripts looked like in Internet Explorer 7: I've added a red arrow at the beginning of each script request.

That means that 3GB functions might not see a linear speed bump for primarily single threaded functions. API Gateway can now be used to provide an internet-accessible public front to web services enclosed within a VPC. We plan to test this out when we get the chance. As such I was excited to see X-Ray introduced last year.
