Yes, lambda and friends (AWS Mobile Hub, JAWS Stack, etc) are the next paradigm, but it's not ripe yet. For instance the newly introduced cronjob only allows 5 mins periods as minimum, when for one of my projects I needed full cron precision (I was starting to build on Lambda and had to return to docker...)
Maybe in 6-12 months thing will be fully ready...
