Yeah this setup is the biggest advantage I see to the cloud vs self hosted - the possibility of far more efficient resource usage due to things like cloud run, lambda, etc. I dream of a day when the underlying “cloud” is completely commoditized and interoperable, and your code will run wherever is cheapest, and the cost actually becomes less than self hosting.
