How does serverless make more sense for a simple web api than a traditional web framework?

Adding on to the other points.

- Zero to very minimal devops / syadmin knowledge required. - Monitoring and few other important tooling is usually out of the box

- Add on / Related services in serverless stacks like vercel/netlify etc also handles email/auth type components, a framework will only provider library for these, implementation is in developer hands.

- Simplified deployment : most services can sync with Git repos, provide one click deploy and have simple CLI binaries .

-cheaper (dont have a vm running 24/7 just for you)

-Easier to auto-scale because it does not have any state

-Can easily run at the Edge (look into lambda at edge of cloudflare worker)
