Lambda containers serve 1 request at a time, so the number of JVM's tends to scale out a lot quicker than you would expect. This is more of a broader problem with Java on lambda, as the classic Java way of creating a bunch of singletons on startup and accessing them from multiple threads doesn't work, you just get a really slow cold start time and some near empty connection pools.
