Serverless isn't always pay per use. Firebase, Netlify and Heroku all have limited free tiers where there's no limit you get to where you get charged.
Compared to a VPS, with the above services I get Git based deploy and don't have to worry about server maintenance beyond specifying e.g. which version of Node or Python I want to use.
Seeing people SSHing into servers to install packages and using Git pull to deploy makes me cringe now. I'd rather get on with coding.
