frontend intermediate

TL;DR

Don't underestimate the impact of cold starts on your weather app's performance and revenue.

Google just killed Kubernetes pricing as we know it. The real story? It's about cold starts. For weather apps, a 37% faster cold start means more users, more engagement, and more revenue. Here's the thing: most developers don't realize that timestamps on their weather radar don't mean what they think. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about performance. The catch? This only works if you're already on v4+. So, what's the takeaway? If you're running Postgres in prod, pay attention.
