Serverless isn't that enjoyable for me since I don't like using old versions of stuff. Vercel doesn't support Node 19, which means you can't use built-in fetch without it logging a warning about fetch being experimental every time you call it.

IIRC it took a long time for Node 18 to be available.

Containers FTW. You can use things in production when the maintainers release to production, not when AWS Lambda has them.

You can run anything the hell you want in AWS Lambda as it is literally just a container. The documentation even shows you how to write your lambda function entirely in a handful of lines of bash using curl to request the job and submit the result.
