What I've found having to use serverless is the local development tools are broken. You'll find cloudformation is the only way to reliable manage all the proprietary paid for services which will require you to read several documentation on various tools (kinesis, dynamodb stream or fifo, standard queues) to work out which one might work. To find out it doesn't necessarily work in your applied function (CloudWatch Insufficient Alarms I'm looking at you). So you then have a choice to use cloudformation and another deployment tool to push your services. This is more typical after you've given up trying to manage dynamodb-local across platforms for your codebase.
