I don't think you're wrong, I just think you're not looking far enough ahead.

What we have now is very primitive compared to how app development might work in the future; serverless is laying the foundation for a completely different way of thinking about software development.

I think I understand your point.

It's more back to the mainframe model of software development. I did this back in the 90s and I never had to think about scaling. Granted these were just simple crud / back-office apps.

But I can see how it would work for most modern software.

The mainframe model is viable (and legitimate) again because you can buy 128 core machines. That’ll have no problem running at people’s businesses
