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.
