For what end? So many things I see going serverless would work for a similar price and 1/2 the developer hassle running on a couple instances...
I won’t argue that its cheaper because it’s not. Once you get to a certain point you should probably migrate onto real instances which is why I think that the abstraction I talked about is important.
You can easily get this with CoreOS + docker images on GCE

Except you do. You run a 4 CPU database on the backend. How many lambdas can hit it at once before it dies? You need to manage this still.
Lambda is not the worst thing ever, but many many things using it would be far better off on something like kubernetes or a docker image behind a load balancer.
