We seem to be using bootsnap on most of the publisher apps but not on the frontends.
We don't care much about startup time per se, but reducing the CPU spike on pod startup is helpful for capacity planning and helps to keep the overall performance of the cluster more predictable.
Tested: works on the integration k8s cluster. Benchmarking locally with
docker run
showed >40% improvement in startup time and savings of roughly 2 core-seconds per pod startup. Regression tested on EC2 by deploying to the integration environment, checking that smoke tests still pass there and checking there were no errors/warnings in app logs.
