Has anyone heard of implementing an architecture where you have normal server backend architecture, while using serverless to handle traffic spikes and any failover? If you properly modularize your backend codebase, it shouldn't be excessively costly to duplicate it across a serverless architecture and in some sort of node instance.

My biggest issue with serverless is the high cost at scale, which could be mitigated with this type of architecture. Are there any other benefits or concerns regarding something like this?
