Hi everyone,

I’m currently using AWS SAM CLI with NodeJS and was surprised to find that the requests were significantly slower when run locally. Luckily, I came across a post that suggested adding –skip-pull-image to your start-api command:

sam local start-api --skip-pull-image

This brought my requests down to under a second. Thanks to the following link for the info: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sam-cli/issues/134#issuecomment-406786704
