Theo's video about database performance

After watching the video and reading few comments Just wanted to ask Example as for me i host my t3 stack app on my digitalocean vps And use mysql database locally installed So does all this cold start things applies to me? And is the performance not way better than Vercel + planetscale? Etc

it would be more consistent on a real server for sure

So does the term Serverless still apply here?

maybe the first request, with prisma opening a connection, can be a little slower but cold starts happen when you need to run a server to execute a request if the server is already running, there are less of that pain
