Workers - Python cold start improvements
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026

This improvement is particularly noticeable for Workers with larger dependency sets or complex initialization logic. Every time you deploy a Python Worker, a memory snapshot is captured after the top level of the Worker is executed.
