I've noticed a curious side-effect of Lambda/Serverless/FaaS services: The ease with which you can go from zero-to-production can make it easier to build something completely new than to fix or extend something old. In time, you get a sprawl of half-baked services and a complex distributed system. That can lead to each service's creator becoming the sole maintainer of their creation because they're the only one who fully understands how it fits into the puzzle. I'm hoping this will get better as the newness subsides and mature practices leak back in. Better tooling could also help.
