Traditional Actors are designed to run a single task and then stop. They're mostly intended for batch jobs, such as when you need to perform a large scrape or data processing task.
1313
However, in some applications, waiting for an Actor to start is not an option. Actor Standby mode solves this problem by letting you have the Actor ready
1414
in the background, waiting for the incoming HTTP requests. In a sense, the Actor behaves like a real-time web server or standard API server.

Actors that support Actor Standby can still be started in standard mode, for example from the Console or via the API.

To find out in which mode was the Actor started, you can read the `metaOrigin` option in `Actor.config`, or the `APIFY_META_ORIGIN` environment variable in case you're not using the Apify SDK.
