Looks pretty interesting. I presume the boom in cloudflare workers and other hosting platforms has been a forcing function to make running a web app more “normal” looking with their lambda offering.
Reads like absolute tail, after idle period will see a coldstart but due to multi-concurrency the subsequent requests as a burst will be amortized and automatic/proactive scale-up should avoid further coldstarts.

> a burst of incoming traffic can share warm environments instead of mapping each request to a new one
But cold starts could still occur, especially in a low-traffic environment where requests come in seldomly?
Yes.
> Lambda scales down to zero environments when there is no traffic. The next request after that starts a new environment (a cold start).
