curate torrents (without piracy). perhaps i could release a purely decentralized solution, which would be a good learning exercise.

The main thing that seems to be missing, in my experience, is moderation.If someone can manage to make a decentralized forum-like moderation list, then we wouldn't have any use for centralized trackers anymore.I think it could probably be done by using public GPG keys as identities, then keeping changes in a torrent-distributed git repo where user-generated data is saved in GPG signed git commits.Then the only centralization left would be what branch/torrent people introduce to new users

Knative has solved most of those pod start time problems since it’s dealing with a similar scenario, unless 0.008s startup time isn’t good enough for you.
We actually initially built this on Kubernetes, twice. The MVP was Kubernetes + nginx where we created pods through the API and used the built-in DNS resolver. The post-MVP attempt fully embraced k8s, with our own CRD and operator pattern. It still exists in another branch of the repo[1]
Our decision to move off came because we realized we cared about a different set of things than Kubernetes did. For example, cold start time generally doesn’t matter that much to a stateless server architecture (k8s’ typical use), but is vital for us because a user is actively waiting on each cold start. Moving away from k8s let us own the scheduling process, which helped us reduce cold start times significantly
