A cold start is a product decision
Keeping workers warm costs money. Letting them go cold costs users. How we price the trade-off.
Every idle worker costs money. Every cold start costs a user a second. Somebody has to choose.
Our choice
We keep workers warm for ten minutes after a run goes quiet, and we pay for it. It shows up in our margins, not on your invoice.
For batch jobs that do not need it, a key can opt out and get a lower price per run.
