If I'm reading this correctly the crux of the argument appears to be if your serverless database engine provides cross-region data replication and consistency and provides a GraphQL interface then applications can use GraphQL to go directly to the database, thus solving a lot of the problems we endured in the past when using SQL to go to the database. It's an interesting idea that at first glance appears to be worth looking into further, though I still have a uneasy feeling because I remember all the pain in the past!
