The reality of developing serverless apps is seriously painful for anything that's not 'hello world'. Non-trivial functions very quickly go over the size limit for directly uploading your dependencies, then you have to start doing stuff like extracting your python packages into a zip file and pushing it to an s3 bucket, and then every small code change requires a new upload. Testing and debugging tools for serverless are distributed logs that are mixed in with all your other logs in your VPC. I'll take a look at this the next time I'm required to use serverless, but I really don't know what the people pushing this as the future of web apps are smoking. It's never been anything but pain for me. How anyone can try to use this for real and say, "This is sooooo much better than all that old shit!" has never actually used that old shit. That old shit works really, really well. It has for a very long time.
