From my perspective, I see it as a different way of achieving the same end goal. With "serverless", someone still has to maintain servers somewhere and if your company is big enough, AWS is actually the more expensive option.

So if you are running your own infrastructure on bare metal, application development in erlang/elixir lets you better take advantage of the operations staff that you already have because running that infrastructure is much less complicated than the alternatives.
