Reading through the comments one thing is clear: almost no one here seems to understand _why_ you use serverless implementations.

If your architecture follows domain driven design principles, you can build very large, complex, scalable, and maintainable systems.

Hey, author of the post here! Thanks for your comment.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head :) 99% of our code actually lives in domain packages that are infrastructure agnostic. Our lambda handlers are very lightweight adapters that take the input and transform it to a domain input and transform the output back.

That said, our serverless architecture does leak a bit into our domain thinking. E.g. certain things are built async since it's just so easy to hook up a lambda to listen to an EventBridge event.

I use them because, as a programmer, I don't care about operating system upgrades, disks becoming full, viruses scanning etc.

This reason alone makes doing serverless worth it, IMO.
