  In the world of cloud computing ,"Serverless" is the gold standard for efficiency. You only pay when your code runs. But serverless has always had one major Achilles' heel: The Cold Start . When a function hasn’t been used in a while, the cloud provider spins it down. The next time a user clicks a button, the system has to wake up, load the runtime ,and execute the code. This lag is called a "Cold Start." For years, Python was the undisputed king of cold starts ,while Java was the sluggish giant.

The answer lies in how the Instagram algorithm actually works today ,and it is very different from what it was even a few years ago. Let’s break it down simply.
