[Request]: FAQ addition as to why Strapi can't be ran in some serverless environments #231

@derrickmehaffy

Description

@derrickmehaffy

Summary

Strapi cannot be ran (reliably with a decent amount of performance) in Lambda-type function environments such as Vercel, Netlify, or AWS Lambda.

Why is it needed?

Many people, both in the community, and as enterprise customers/trial users ask questions on hosting in these environments.

Suggested solution(s)

Document why Strapi does not work in these environments, mainly references to "cold boot" times and performance.
