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.

But cold starts could still occur, especially in a low-traffic environment where requests come in seldomly?

  Yes.

    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.
