How much slower are web requests vs a live server?

I see that Up has a warming feature - is that sufficient enough to avoid slow requests for you?

Does the reliance on Up as a service make you nervous for using them for production? How much hot water would you be in if they close their doors?

Are you using Up Pro?

I know - lots of questions, but it seems like a neat offering I hadn't seen before, and I can't find any testimonials elsewhere online.

Hi,

1. Apart from the startup latency i haven't noticed much of a big difference between up/lambda and a live server. And lambda will keep your function warm for AFAIK, 1hr, so if your app has lots of traffic you never experience startup latency.

2. Up is open source, if they close their biz, I'd just continue using their code. I haven't used up pro yet.

3. Up has been around for probably under 1yr so you may not see a lot of testimonials yet. It is made by tj(the same guy who made expressJS, the nodejs web framework among other softwares)
