This one will get me into the most trouble. A lot of web application people will jump on the “but RDBMS are what we know” bandwagon. It’s not about RDBMS. It’s about the connections. Serverless. works best with services rather than connections. Guess what a service call will use to do its RPC...? a connection. This advice makes no sense. Maybe you don't care about the response to your service? That's different from saying "don't use connections". (I doubt most serverless RPC calls are over UDP like protocol)

Well, talking to a RDBMS works a bit different than HTTP, both use TCP.

It’s not about TCP per se. RDMS connections are usually highly stateful and resource consuming on the server end. That’s why they are usually pooled.
