Not necessarily, especially in a large company setting. Lambda allows you to scale and take care of spikey traffic. It also doesn't require server management. Servers are a pain in the butt.

True, but ECS and K8s both abstract aware the hardware and offer cheaper 24/7 workloads and get past the cold start problem (at the expense of slower spike responses).
