Lambda is absolutely essential for glueing together Amazon services and many Amazon articles recommend it (for instance, getting your ASG to drain ECS instances before scaling down). It's also helpful for building alerting/monitoring workflows since Cloudwatch/SNS is pretty simplistic on its own
I think the sentiment is more "don't build your entire app on lambda"
