Another misconception that can be added to the belief of easy scalability is regarding the database. And endpoint without a database is, well pretty much useless for most use-cases.
Right now, Serverless / Lambda would be very difficult to scale with traditional database solutions like SQL or MongoDB which are connection based. Soon you will hit the connection limit.
Right now, the only solution I can think, that can scale within reasonable assumptions is with solutions like DynamoDB or AWS Aurora.
