I would recommend just using SAM or Chalice for MS on AWS and layering on Step Functions/Fargate/ECS Anywhere for hybrid setups if you are not using Kubernetes. The only difference is that you are coupled to AWS but if you are already have been using AWS for everything else, its very natural and easy to just learn a new product and integrate it to your existing infra setup on AWS.

CDK is also another interesting tool in that you can create classes that handles existing series of scaffolding and automation and it feels naturally code like but drift detection still requires improvement vs Terraform's.

If you work for a large company where they have mandated Kubernetes then obviously its gonna be difficult but I am seeing a trend where companies are starting to "hedge" their bets as K8 projects take far longer to get to market and requires more experts to keep it going so I'm half heartedly learning Kubernetes, especially on the back of my mind the existing AWS solutions offer far quicker time to market and accomplishes the same thing.
