alt Hacker NewsHow do these perform for cold-starts? I remember one of the disadvantages of using web assembly for Workers was more spin-up time, but maybe they figured out a way around that.

In many cases, the cold-start time might not be visible to users. E.g. if you serve your static content from a CDN, maybe you have stale content in local storage you can show while fetching updated data. If it all happens on a sub-100ms timescale, it should feel quite instant?
We’ve got some cold start numbers in our previous blog post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/python-workers-advancements/.
There is still more to do here and it’s what we will be focusing on next.
