I only dabble in server stuffs, but I have to ask:
Why is that a problem? You can design a system and implement it with AWS Lambda (or similar) and a few other things like their (or another) database, message queue, and data storage. Then, when you find that you've got processes that are bottlenecked by this, move them into dedicated servers or containers with faster routines. Just like we already do when pairing (possibly) slower but higher-level languages with C libraries.
