I wholeheartedly agree about developing/debugging being harder. People advocating for Serverless secretly ignore this and focus on scaleability and pricing. I have worked at two places using Serverless and in those places setting up a local environment was not possible. Instead I have to deploy to a test environment to try things out. It is such a slow workflow.

Odd, I've never had an issue with SAM and lets me run an API gateway, Lambda with Dynamo locally so by itself covers a lot of the usecases and LocalStack to fill in any testing gaps.

The bad developing/debugging dev-loop is getting fixed. My team is working on a platform that fixes it, as are others in the space.

You should never need leave your IDE to complete a change>execute>change inner loop. https://modal.com/docs/guide/ex/hello_world

We use AWS Lambda with serverless.com. I can deploy a single lambda change to our dev environment in about 5 seconds. I can also edit directly through the AWS console if I want to experiment. I've never wanted for a local environment.

5 seconds is way too slow
