Here's an anecdote: I'm a one man shop who has been planning, developing and deploying Django applications for six years. I have not got to the point where my deploys are automated because I am swamped with work just keeping my clients up to date and my servers ticking along. I usually deploy one client per $5 DO VPS.

I just deployed my first project to PythonAnywhere and I am blown away at how much easier is. I'm going to pass the cost on to clients and that's that. I'm going to be less stressed and can concentrate on what I want to do: build applications.

I don't know if it's "severless" in the same sense as AWS Lambda or whatever, but I can imagine many solo/small shops seeing less ops work as a godsend.
