It really depends on what the traffic pattern of your application looks like. For most web applications, traffic can be unpredictable. Instead of paying for idle compute time during low traffic periods (where you waste money on unused compute resources), you can simply pay-what-you-use with serverless: the infrastructure only exists when there is an incoming request.
