Re:Ask HN: What are some practical uses for serverless? by continuational on Wednesday December 12, 2018 @12:13PM (#18665656)
Serverless is a misnomer; what’s important is that it’s provisionless.

That means you won’t have to preallocate (and pay for) resources that will go unused during non-peak load. It enables automatic scaling.

There are plenty of “serverless” offerings for computation, but very few for databases. Without the later, I don’t think it has much value.
