But that's exactly what the GP is railing against. Trying to hope you don't need to concern ypurself with setting uo the server and thinking about the resources it needs etc is unlikely to be a good idea, or even to work in real terms. AWS Almbda for example only really works if you understand the limitations of the VM and cluster that your code will be running in, and design your system accordingly.

I once worked on a product that didn't, and had ~10s "cold start" latency for any request, because of the size and reliance on lambda. And of course this "cold start" was actually seen all the time, because it was a new niche product that people pnly accessed occasionally, and because it's actually a "cold start" for every concurrent request.
