Why wouldn’t serverless technologies be relevant to the self hosted community?
The discussion is off topic for the same reason web development software patterns or the benefits of choosing one language over another aren't really relevant to the selfhosting community. Because most self-hosters don't develop the software they host, they set up existing software. Serverless technology itself might be relevant, if there was a project using that, but how the architectural decision impacts software development is not really relevant to self-hosters.
On the contrary, lots of us write our own scripts and programs. And when considering how to self host that software, serverless is a perfectly valid choice.
Just because many self hosters are hobbyists who are only capable of using things off the shelf doesn’t make self hosting infrastructure outside the scope of… selfhosting lol
