This idea that serverless is "just" for scalability is a misconception and pessimism about the future of computing. What serverless should really mean is that you focus on your code and you don't configure your digital ocean, the node.js runtime, the observability, the security, the reliability, and all this shit. If you couldn't just click on an icon to open a web browser on your laptop, no one would be using the internet. That's the same with cloud computing. The amount of people who use the cloud is <1% of what it could be. So go ahead and pay $8/month for the hosting, then pay with your own invaluable time for the rest.
