I'm actually working on this concept; a serverless platform utilizing the CGI standard. I call it bigCGI. It addresses a lot of the drawbacks another user mentioned:
Vendor lock in: The CGI standard is supported by almost every server technology. Plus bigCGI is open source and can be self hosted.
Security/Monitoring: one of my biggest challenges, but separate processes, by their nature, offer separation of resources.
Debugging: CGI scripts are super easy to run locally. I've also configured bigCGI to collect STDERR from apps.
Statelessness: CGI is a stateless standard.
If anyone is interested in this, I'd love extra eyeballs on it, especially for security. https://github.com/bmsauer/bigcgi
(Please excuse the bad README, I'll update it next chance I get)
