Google App engine + Spring = slow startup?

I read that Google App Engine (GAE) will shut down your application if it goes idle, and startup/boot everything again when it gets a request. And i know that Spring startup is slow, like 2-3 seconds even for a small web app. Is working on GAE using Spring really suffer from this badly?

Thanks in advance.

It's really not that bad but considering your instances are being shutdown and started constantly, you should work on getting your startup as fast as possible. A few pointers to consider:

  1. Enable warmup requests
  2. Enable resident instances
  3. Optimize Spring config (There are great suggestions in this article)
