Enter a new world of web development where everything is serverless

" summary

A hosting platform called Lagoon (open source) is built and used to run containerized sites on Kubernetes + OpenShift, delivering per-PR test instances and automated deployments; it migrates real customers (a newspaper with seven separate sites) and successfully scales stateless front ends to zero while stopping databases and dev resources when idle. Functions-as-a-service (AWS Lambda 5‑minute limit) handle event-driven tasks, Twilio integrates for SMS, and the system proves practical though full serverless requires app refactoring.
