Random observation of the day: CGI is the original serverless.

I wrote a CGI program today for the first time in years. And not even in Perl. I used Go!

I needed the ability to call a simple function from an automation workflow I want to run once per day. I spent a few minutes looking into Google Cloud Functions and other options when the obvious occurred to me: CGI would do this perfectly, and I already have a web host with CGI support, so why not?
