I would guess node.js apps can load a ton of code so the startup can be important too.

What's a 30 seconds of startup for an app that will stay up for a few hours until the next deploy?
More downtime upon deployment (or spreading deployment over longer period).

For serverless with cold starts, direct translation to $.

The whole motivation for tiered JITing is to attempt a balance that gets the best of both worlds; fast startup, optimized hot code (over time).

Unfortunately many CLI tools are written in JS as well (looking at you wrangler).
Lots of money when talking about serverless.
Sounds like a joy to test
