> not have to worry about automating deployment How do you validate your code before deploying to production? If you test in environments besides production how do you manage configuration settings for the different environments (i.e. a db connection string)? How do you avoid patching? Almost any code I've written takes dependencies on 3rd party libraries and those will often have security vulnerabilities (usually some time after I wrote the code).

I mean of infrastructure, servers etc. I.e. the days of Puppet and Ansible are behind me. And patching a Lambda is as simple as pushing up a new version. No downtime, restarting services etc. And no patching of OS or Docker containers. Or building them. Configuration is as simple as environment vars or SSM for secrets.
