> Solving scale-to-zero for WordPress hosting platforms > WordPress is not serverless

Just not accurate. WordPress doesn't prevent this.. It's up to hosting providers to work on their infra so it can run in a serverless fashion.

For example: https://www.agiler.io

That's serverless wordpress that scales to zero.. no changes to WordPress, plugins or anything else.. just platform infra.

Last time I checked Wordpress was completely fine living in a couple of PHP files on a webspace. That’s like the pinnacle of „serverless“, is it not?
mysql/mariadb and the shared filesystem requirements are a bit different than what lambda/etc provides. So not really, but it's all solvable clearly.
Not even a little bit.
