> A Lambda deployment has the advantage that no one needs to manage it

I assure you that somebody does need to manage it, and if nobody is you are going to eventually hit the wall at speed.

I've been called into SEV-1 issues where a Lambda-based web app spontaneously disappeared. (Seasoned AWS heads can probably make a guess as to why.)

Sure, I was perhaps too hyperbolic. In my case, the advantage was specifically fault isolation for a multi-tenant, low traffic, demanding workload that was traditionally deployed as a physical service.

You can always tell who has had to live with non-trivial serverless systems in Prod and who is just parroting the marketing copy.

Let's keep it civilized please. I cited a specific example from my experience, I'm not parroting anything.
