Complex, expensive, slow to start, hard to test, massive investment in specialist cloud personnel needed, inflexible, limitations that self hosting doesn’t have, total configuration including IAM and N other AWS services all forming a complex and messy bowl of spaghetti, nickel and dime billed for every bit of data going anywhere all topped off with 9 cents per gigabyte egress.

Every AWS Lambda project I worked on spent at least as much time working on AWS as on writing application code ….. in some cases much more ….. the majority of the teams work was “programming the machine” (working in AWS itself).

What’s not to love about AWS?
