There are a lot of applications where the startup time of several seconds does not matter at all. More likely, for most applications it does not matter. Of course, if you are FAANG, it does, but you should not optimize for that in the beginning.

I have never worked for Faang and have seen this be an issue in every single company Ive worked for. Every one. You don’t need millions of pods. Even a fleet of a few hundred (which isn’t crazy for most small to medium businesses) will cause you much pain if you don’t handle this properly.
