New comment by CamTin in "Serverless Computing: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back"

Totally stateless PHP apps (retrieving and storing state at the top and bottom of each request) plus autoscaling based on CPU load starts to look pretty close to Lambdas + scheduled tasks to keep them "warm". This is how most LAMP apps are/were built, notably Wordpress.

The real pain point in any auto-scaling/cloud/serverless application is and will probably always be the stateful bits. I think the first cloud provider to really figure out this killer bit will be the ultimate winner of the cloud wars. It will probably look something like Amazon's "Aurora Serverless" but be even more frictionless.
