Yes, the absolute opaqueness of so-called serverless is a huge hit to productivity. Numerous times there's something weird going on and you're stuck trying to guess and retry based on largely useless logs until it somehow works better but you never really know what the root cause truly was. Meanwhile on my own server I'll ssh in and have complete visibility, I can trace and dump network traffic, bpftrace userspace and kernel code, attach debuggers, there's no limit to visibility. Yes lambda/serverless saves you a day or three in initial setup but you'll pay that time back with 10-100x interest as soon as you need to debug anything.
