I've also experimented with this, unfortunately the 50ms CPU time isn't enough for datasets larger than 1.5MB. And the wasm init add at least 100ms to each request even when "hot" in cache.

Also, out of a cost perspective, running a VM with SSD for cheap with SQlite will give much more requests than a CF worker for much less.

Adding writes to this is also very limited due to the max 1sec write per KV key limit.

SQLite was already serverless. https://www.sqlite.org/serverless.html

Yes but now it runs on someone else server! Wait a minute, this makes no sense...

'serverless' is perhaps the stupidest marketing buzzword developers have come up with.

Words can have multiple meanings and meanings of words can change.

Almost like how the English language has been literally hijacked and destroyed.

Language does change and evolve. The misuse and subsequent additional meaning for “literally” to now also be a simile for “figuratively” is a good example of how this isn’t necessarily always a good thing.
