AWS Lambda and API Gateway fit my use case quite well, but the cold start problem is concerning me.

Cold start can sometimes be mitigated by keeping a minimal number of instances warm, which comes with additional costs.

Do you have any tips for managing long-running functions in a serverless world?

Long running processes in serverless may challenge design patterns, you might need to look into using a message queuing mechanism or a separate backend service.
