So apps autosleep after a certain time.

How long does it take for an app to wake up?

Is this using firecracker like Fly?



The intro video mentioned the serverless databases take about 200ms to wake from hibernation. No idea on app workers, but... I would think it's within that ballpark... ? Might also depend on the app server class you're using?


The serverless PG is provided by Neon so it's a different infra.

Fly.io uses Firecracker[1] and it's usually pretty fast.

Of course it will depend on app size etc but it's weird there's zero information about app start up time, cold starts, etc.
