Agree with you, Lambda would make a lot more sense if it was kind of a scaffold for your application. Say you only have 1k users and don't want to spend too much time on infrastructure, lambda is a perfect fit for it. Your application is taking off and now you have 100k: just click a button and migrate it to a Fargate/ECS. That would be the perfect world. AFAIK the only framework that supports this kind of mindset is Zappa (https://www.zappa.io https://www.zappa.io). I use it in production but never had to migrate out of AWS Lambda so I'm not sure about the pain points related to it.
