For those talking about this being a 'serverless' problem or not, think they point is that it's a lot easier to shoot yourself in the foot. Great power + responsibility, etc. On regular servers (outside of unbounded autoscaling) mistakes cost a flat rate.

Not necessarily.

With a regular server you could go viral, your server dies, so you lose also without a bound in lost business/good will/whatever.

Also need to take into account the time/effort spent on making the regular server scale, albeit this is also a relatively flat rate.
