A versatile bunch of ideas better presented in the announcement [1]

I like the idea that simple ram storage in the program can be used as your complete durable database (since everything is durable) negating the need for even serverless databases like neon.

All I want to know is if their ram usage & pricing is competitive, considering databases get big and are already perfect at taking cold data out of ram back to disk.

Everything else is gravy: you can tickle every function in your multi-tenant actor system from a http birds eye view.

The paradigm they are going for seems less like scale-to-zero more like sure-wake or never-fail or infini-migrate workers and that bodes well for being able to be charged according to the exact amount of active ram that your worker uses moment to moment rather than per invocation on an inflexible amount of ram.
