You can get a WebAssembly instance running in a few micro seconds. This makes it feasible to spawn a new sandbox for each request and scaling down to zero becomes almost trivial.
Another benefit is that you are not bound to a specific OS/arch. Lunatic lets you develop on macOs-arm64 and deploy on Windows-x64. Even container technologies widespread like Docker can't run on different CPU architectures. That proved to be a pain for people switching to the new M1 macs.
