Hi Tim, In your case, I think what would suit you well is to set max-idle-instances=1 (you've already done that) and min-idle-instances=1. The latter knob is not yet available but will be available once the pricing rollout is complete. In the short-term you could have a cron job keep your instance alive by sending it requests once per minute.
