Has anyone experimented with serverless applications in Kotlin (e.g. with knative or AWS Lambda)? If so, with what "flavour" of Kotlin (JVM, JS, Native) ? And is the performance acceptable for the serverless world (especially for Kotlin JVM that has worse warm up time) ?
Unfortunately Kotlin Native and GraalVM are quite new and not really battle tested yet, right?

I also experienced the slow startup when we developed an Alexa skill with Kotlin/JVM.
That said, you can of course employ strategies to keep your lambdas "warm" to avoid the long startup times.

Kotlin Native and GraalVM are currently at the exploration ⛰️ phase 🙃.
