Absolutely. Frankly I think in a few years time we'll look at Lambda the way we look at people dumping php scripts on a shared server today. It needs a lot of thinking before serverless fulfills its long term potential in those respects.

The irony is that a whole lot of the solutions are well understood; just not in the same environments. E.g. "enterprise" computing went through a whole cycle of building application services for small self-contained components with discovery and messaging in the late 90's that people seem to have largely forgotten as somewhere to look to at least for a laundry list of what kind of services are needed.
