> If you're building something that's going to get a predictable load of 10k QPS and is only going to read from a DB and return some data it might be a good idea to break that out, run that in a serverless configuration, etc.

Serverless costs you money. Running a low-volume db in the same VM you serve the site and the web api costs you zero.
