Cloudflare has introduced a solution to eliminate cold starts, which are the time it takes to load and execute a new copy of a serverless function for the first time. Unlike other serverless platforms that require users to choose between suffering from random increases in execution time or paying extra fees to keep their functions warm, Cloudflare Workers now offer zero cold starts. This is made possible by leveraging encryption protocols during the TLS handshake process and preloading resources during the waiting time before a request arrives. The new feature is available for all Workers customers without any additional fee or configuration change.
