I'm deploying a proxy that mainly handles ratelimits to an external service. I want to enable serverless, but I also do not want to worry that the proxy will enter sleep while it is waiting for the ratelimits to reset
I want to keep costs to the absolute minimum, so I don't want to make outbound requests to keep the server alive
Is there a specific IP I can ping instead? Or any other ideas?

if you don't want the server to sleep then you probably shouldn't have serverless enabled to be honest
if you need to keep it awake during a specific time then you can probably just fetch a health-check endpoint on your service, app sleeping is dependent on inbound requests so if you make an inbound request every 7 minutes or so then it won't fall asleep

The server is mainly a proxy that handles ratelimits, if a ratelimit were to be 10+ minutes, the server would sleep before it would forward the request

Would it be possible to do a HTTP request to itself on the private network? Would that prevent sleep?

going to give a big plus 1 to what fragly said, if you dont want something to sleep then dont enable serverless
