Do you keep some running hot, or delegate the startup to something like amazon's ECS? I've long wanted to run integration tests en masse in containers, but never figured out how to solve issues around long startup times.

Yes we do container pooling. We do all the container manaegment ourselves. Using services like ECS will generally be slower.
