> Serverless Advocate: Yes, but instead of paying for infrastructure overhead and hiring 5–10 highly specialized k8s engineers, you pay AWS to manage it for you.

This argument lost me. If you’re running your own k8s install on top of servers, you’re doing it wrong. You don’t need highly specialized k8s engineers. Use your cloud provider’s k8s infrastructure, configure it once, put together a deploy script, and you never have to touch yaml files for typical deploys. You don’t need Lambda and the like to get the same benefits. And as a bonus, you avoid the premium costs of Lambda if you’re doing serious traffic (like a billion incoming API requests/day).

Every developer should be able to deploy at any time by running a single command to deploy the latest CI build. Here’s how: https://engineering.streak.com/p/implementing-bluegreen-depl...

Also: As if you didn't need "5-10 highly specialized engineers" (neither needs this number but alas) to get all AWS serverless services to coexist and scale cost and compute efficiently with proper monitoring, logging, permissions, tracing, etc.
