For a public website? Well if you don't have thousands of pages, then the solution would be as simple as installing Varnish, which is good practice anyways. If you actually have enough unique paths for an unauthenticated botnet to saturate, well that's a bit more complicated.

Many sites hosted on Vercel, I suppose. If sites are hosted on nginx/varnish I’d be surprised if they didn’t do an order of magnitude more.
Yeah the playbook for serverless is to target developers that don't know anything about infrastructure, lock them in with proprietary APIs, and then hit them with a huge bill once they have any real traffic.
