Incredible that these kinds of services were hosted like this.
I guess they never came out of MVP, which could warrant using serverless, but in the end it makes 0 sense to use some slow solution like this for the service they are offering.
Why didnt they go with a self hosted backend right away?
Its funny how nowadays most devs are too scared to roll their own and just go with the cloud offerings that cost them tech debt and actual money down the road.
