Is there a cold start delay for these containers?

Cloudflare Containers typically have a 2-3 second cold start, but this skill includes 'warm instance' strategies to minimize latency for production applications.

How does it handle file storage?

The skill includes patterns for integrating with Cloudflare R2, allowing you to stream inputs from and save outputs directly to edge object storage.

Does this skill support GPU acceleration?

Yes, it provides specific Dockerfile configurations and FFmpeg commands for utilizing NVIDIA GPUs within Cloudflare's container environment.

Can I process large video files with this setup?

Absolutely. Because it uses native containers, you are limited by disk and memory rather than the strict constraints of standard Worker scripts.

Why use Cloudflare Containers instead of Workers for FFmpeg?

Containers allow for native binary execution, which removes the 10MB size limit and performance overhead associated with WebAssembly (ffmpeg.wasm) approaches.
