# Auto-Scaling / Cost/Cold Start

> "auto-scaling" (correctness-core layer) is traded against "Cost/Cold Start" (correctness-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Cost/Cold Start" and choosing an explicit operating point.
