Scheduled Pre-Warm Before Replicate Traffic Peak

This workflow eliminates the first-wave cold start by warming a Replicate endpoint a few minutes before your known daily traffic spike. Instead of reacting to slow requests, it preemptively boots enough workers and confirms they're responding fast, then reports readiness to your team channel.

Use it when your Replicate-backed feature has a predictable demand curve — a morning login rush, a marketing email send, a scheduled batch job — and you want guaranteed warm capacity exactly when users arrive, without paying for idle workers all night.

A scheduled trigger fires shortly before your peak window. An action submits several concurrent warm-up predictions to Replicate to provision and boot workers. A second action reads back the predictions' timings to verify they completed quickly (workers are now resident). A logic step checks whether enough workers warmed within the target latency. The flow then posts a Slack message summarizing how many workers are hot, measured warm latency, and a go/no-go readiness flag for the upcoming peak.
