    How 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.

      We’ve got some cold start numbers in our previous blog post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;python-workers-advancements&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;python-workers-advancements&#x2F;.

      There is still more to do here and it’s what we will be focusing on next.

        The cold start numbers on that blog post show that its faster than AWS Lambda but your linked benchmark page [1] shows that Lambda is not only much faster but also much more consistent.

          It looks like that link is incorrect, it should be pointing at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cold.picheta.me&#x2F;#packages" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cold.picheta.me&#x2F;#packages.
