This isn't an article on PHP served from shared/managed hosting, is it? ;)

  This actually is a good thing to point out IMO. This model did sort of resemble a primitive version of serverless; that's why it was so popular. It was quick, easy, and affordable despite it's many downsides.

    If the downvotes are any indication, apparently pointing this out is less popular than the model itself.

  There is an important difference... PHP on shared hosting (often connecting to MySQL) most definitely did not autoscale and self-heal. Even if you had a load balancer connecting to multiple machines, there was no automatic provisioning of more machines. Your database didn't automatically grow to handle more data and traffic.
