Fast startup and slow first request vs slow startup and fast first request

[andrew-vdb]

Summary

While we want to have the best of both world. I believe we need to make a switch which way the application published.

Motivation and goals

I'm building desktop app with spa, blazor, min api and run it with chrome. Startup taking sometimes like 5 seconds. Making it aot give no difference. In this case i want to have very fast startup.

I'm also building web application, same stack but hosted in azure app service. I dont mind for slow start up here but i really want to have very fast first request. I tried by making warm up request, does not seems to work.

The goal is to have switch in publish profile which performance level we want to have.
