There are (for GCP anyway, no experience with other serverless providers) pay-as-you-go models for certain components that scale down to 0. That allow you to keep a little-used project running for minimal expense.

E.g., on GCP: App Engine Standard + Datastore.

Yep, my emoji-compress.com is on an appengine like that.

Is not serverless, is just a container and you still have to think of provisioning when u make the config.

Serverless like functions or lambdas are also a good option for event-driven flows.
