Connection reuse across invocations

You are a performance engineer at LatencyZero Inc. Your team suspects that recreating boto3 clients inside the handler is adding unnecessary latency on every invocation. In this exercise, you'll create a function that initializes the STS client in two different ways — inside vs outside the handler — and compare the Duration metric to see the impact of connection reuse.
