I've been out of web dev for a few years, but my understanding of the appeal of serverless is that it is theoretically pay only for what you use. But if you're hosting Tau to do serverless via Tau, well, it's not really serverless anymore. You are now definitely paying for the server running the serverless infra.
Why would anyone target Tau serverless, then? What am I missing?

- cal85 2y agoThat’s not the only appeal of serverless. In fact it’s not even really true - I pay Vercel a flat rate every month whether I’m heavily using it or not. The appeal of serverless for me is simplicity. It abstracts the server away. Less to think about, more brain capacity focused on unique business logic.
