Do servers stay always-on or scale to zero?

Google Tag Manager Server Container

Hey everyone,

Considering Stape for server-side tracking but need to know, do the servers stay always-on or scale down to zero when there’s no traffic?

My concern: If my site gets no traffic overnight, will the first visitor in the morning experience a cold start delay?

The docs mention “cold boot” for new instances during scaling, but it’s not clear if existing servers ever go to sleep.

Anyone know from experience? Or has Stape confirmed this anywhere?

Thanks!

At least one instance is always on.
There is no scaling to 0, as this causes too many errors in most cases.

@Axxi I can confirm we don’t scale to zero. You will not have a cold boot for a first morning visitor.
