Introducing Sedai Support for AWS Lambda Managed Instances

Table of Contents

AWS Lambda Managed Instances are here, and Sedai is making the migration process easy and safe.

AWS Lambda Managed Instances gives users the agility of Lambda functions with the cost control, performance options, and hardware flexibility of EC2.

With Sedai’s automated analysis and one-click execution, customers can now pinpoint which functions are strong candidates for AWS Lambda Managed Instances and migrate them with confidence. This makes it easy for engineering, platform, and FinOps teams to take advantage of AWS’s newest compute option.

Why AWS Lambda Managed Instances Matters

As organizations scale their serverless environments, they often reach a point where certain workloads demand:

  • Higher or more predictable performance
  • Access to specialized hardware such as GPUs or Graviton4 processors
  • More cost control than traditional Lambda can offer
  • Flexibility in how traffic is processed

Historically, teams had to choose between performance flexibility and operational simplicity. They either stayed within the Lambda model or migrated parts of their architecture to EC2, ECS, or other container-based solutions.

AWS Lambda Managed Instances changes that equation.

How AWS Lambda Managed Instances Work

By allowing Lambda functions to run on AWS-managed EC2 instances while preserving the Lambda programming model, AWS now bridges serverless and EC2. 

It’s a compelling new option for predictable workloads, ML/AI pipelines, and high-throughput data processing jobs, without abandoning the benefits teams love about Lambda.

Developers now keep the familiar, lightweight Lambda development experience, while operators retain the ease of scaling, warm environments, and event-driven workflows. 

AWS Lambda Managed Instances adds hardware choice and cost control without re-architecting or giving up the operational model that has made Lambda so popular.

The Challenge: Which Functions Belong on Managed Instances?

So, which functions should teams migrate to AWS Lambda Managed Instances?

Answering that isn’t trivial. Teams need to consider:

  • Traffic predictability
  • Monthly compute spend
  • Concurrency patterns
  • Hardware requirements
  • Execution duration and scaling behavior
  • Cost modeling against EC2-based execution

Doing this manually can take weeks, or even longer at scale. It can also lead to risky guesswork or migrating functions that won’t actually benefit.

But with Sedai, we give you the migration insights you need to move functions efficiently and effectively.

How to Adopt AWS Lambda Managed Instances with Sedai

Sedai automatically analyzes historical AWS usage, traffic, and behavior patterns to identify the Lambda functions most likely to benefit from AWS Lambda Managed Instances.

With this new capability, Sedai enables customers to:

1. Automatically flag strong candidates for migration

Sedai looks for functions with:

  • Steady or predictable workloads
  • GPU or specialized hardware needs
  • Monthly compute spend typically above $1,000
  • Consistent throughput where EC2 pricing models offer cost advantages
For each Lambda function, Sedai recommends whether to migrate or keep as on-demand.

2. Model cost and performance impact

Sedai generates side-by-side comparisons showing how each function would behave on AWS Lambda Managed Instances, including:

  • Projected compute cost savings
  • Performance improvements
  • Savings Plans implications
  • Concurrency modeling
Sedai shows estimated cost savings for migrating recommended Lambda functions. 

3. Migrate with a single approval through Sedai Copilot

Once a customer approves a function for migration, Sedai safely moves it to Managed Instances by:

  • Activating AWS Lambda Managed Instances
  • Updating function configuration
  • Creating warm execution environments
  • Preserving safety controls and rollback capabilities

This dramatically reduces what is typically weeks of manual work.

Sedai provides a migration score and recommendation for each Lambda function.

Three AWS Lambda Managed Instances Use Cases

Early interest in AWS Lambda Managed Instances has centered around three patterns:

1. Eliminating cost unpredictability for steady, high-volume workloads

When functions run continuously or follow consistent traffic patterns, EC2-backed execution provides the cost stability and pricing leverage traditional Lambda can’t.

2. Removing the container migration tax for long-running data pipelines

Workloads needing 30 to 60 minutes of compute time now get a cleaner Lambda path without moving to containers.

3. Unlocking GPU-powered ML/AI inference without abandoning Lambda

Teams that need GPU acceleration can stay in a Lambda-first architecture and still deliver high-performance inference at scale.

And with Sedai’s support for AWS Lambda Managed Instances, identifying these patterns and knowing exactly which functions fit is automatic.

Looking Ahead: Deeper Optimization for AWS Lambda Managed Instances

The launch of Sedai’s support for AWS Lambda Managed Instances is just the beginning. Over the coming months, Sedai will expand its support with:

  • Enhanced instance-type recommendations
  • Automatic scale-profile tuning
  • Runtime-level optimization
  • Deeper safety, rollback, and SLO-aligned controls
  • Expanded guardrails for multi-team operations

Sedai’s goal is simple: make AWS Lambda Managed Instances just as easy to adopt (and optimize) as Lambda itself.

Availability

Sedai’s support for AWS Lambda Managed Instances will be available at launch or shortly after in all AWS regions where the capability is offered.
