How to improve App Engine startup times

App Engine is able to autoscale applications across multiple instances. However, this can result in “pending latency” when all app instances are busy during high traffic times. In this video, we show you how to set up warmup requests for App Engine to reduce cold start instances in the face of increased application traffic. Watch to learn how Critter Junction achieves faster startup times with App Engine!

Sorry to switch topics how to achieve the same with Cloud Functions? A lot of parameters like min_idle_instances, pending latency attributes are not available with Cloud Functions
