The second benefit can be had without serverless. Anything that runs containers offers that. The first one is a nice to have for side projects, but pretty irrelevant in the cost of a business building and shipping a product. If they're referring to autoscaling then, again, anything running containers can do that.
And no mention of where the data is? As far as I can tell, this is buzzword soup with no broadly applicable use case.
