Durable Objects - Improved Durable Object Startup Placement

Cloudflare has improved how it chooses where to start a Durable Object after the object has been inactive.

Reactivated Durable Objects now start on the machine that last ran them whenever possible, so their data doesn't need to be loaded again.

This can make cold starts less frequent for SQLite-backed Durable Objects that are reactivated soon after going idle. Actual results depend on your workload and traffic patterns.

The change is live in all regions. No action is needed by customers to see benefits from this change.
