I'm basically living this experience right now. My previous job involved building and maintaining web apps using boring dependable frameworks and infrastructure. My current company is all in on serverless and uses it for everything. I now spend much LESS time writing business logic.
Figuring out how to finagle various proprietary services and wrangle them together can take a ton of time and effort.
The crazy thing to me is that this is how things run at par. As the article points out, the downside risk with serverless is massive compared to using more traditional tools. If AWS jacks up its prices, deprecates services we rely on, or has a major issue with my company for any reason -- these could easily become existential events for us.
