This the reason I tend to not use a serverless solution in most cases.

I want my code to be written and executed on my machine in a way that can at least kind of resemble the production execution environment. I want a binary that gets run and some IO access, most of the time.

If I have a VM or a "serverless"-style compute like Fargate on ECS, I can define an entry point, some environment variables, and we're off to the races in a very similar environment to my local (thank god for containers and VMs).

The _idea_ of lambda and the similar services is awesome to me, but it's just such a PITA to deal with as a developer, at least in my experience.
