So this serverless solution has a watchdog process always running and mapping requests to the correct process? It that more like a server than serverless? Will the next optimisation be launching one thread per request? In which case we are back to square one (:


You're quite right but as a customer I frankly don't care about how do they it as long as management and deployment are easier from my side.

At one point you do hit a limit on what you can do by cold-starting (almost) everything anyway, right? Let them optimize so they are competitive, and now they've given me a good reason to evaluate them.

That is what Cloudflare Workers do. One v8 isolate thread per request.
