Unlike Spring, JIT-based ASP.NET Core deployments spin up very fast (<2-5s for even large-ish applications, the main bottleneck is how fast it can open connections to dependencies, load configuration, etc.). For AOT variant, the startup time is usually below 200ms if we don't count the slowness of surrounding infra which applies to any language.

Of course CPU and RAM per request when compared to Node.js are not even close as Node is easily slower by a factor of 2-10.
