I have deployed my backend on Vercel and I'm experiencing a significant "cold start" problem. Specifically:
- The server appears to "shut down" after a period of inactivity.
- The first request after this period of inactivity is extremely slow, taking much longer than expected to respond.
- Subsequent requests function normally, with fast and expected response times.
This behavior suggests that Vercel is deactivating server resources after a period of inactivity, resulting in a prolonged startup time when a new request is received.
are there configuration options to keep the server "warm" and avoid this cold start problem?
