New blog post diving into the technical details of our container memory snapshot restore functionality.

Container memory restores can reduce cold start latency on user functions by more than 50% 💥
Wrote about how a warmed up container can be saved to disk and later restored for a 2.5x cold start performance boost. Saving live container processes to disk turns out to be pretty whacky and interesting!

our resident cuda guru dropping some deep gpu knowledge 🧠
- 44 terms from all across the CUDA stack, each defined in its own article
- promiscuous interlinks, so you can drill into details naturally in the flow of reading
- slick themes and clean diagrams. who said technical docs had to be ugly?
