Do you allow serverless deployments? Or does it have to be running on a docker / machine?

Haven't investigated deploying Medusa to a serverless environment yet. We use background workers to process jobs from a Bull queue and those do not necessarily finish within the lifetime of a request. To allow for a serverless setup, we would need to handle these jobs differently, so that they can be carried out even though the servers scale to zero.
