This take is pure nonsense. It's highly disappointing to see this blend of ignorant and uninformed take in HN of all places. Amazon's serverless offerings are the ideal tool for many use cases, specially internal services. Instead of being forced to write, deploy, operate and maintain a dedicated service to handle events, just write the event handlers you need, get it to run in someone else's computer, and forget about it. Internally, things like AWS Lambda saves a lot on wasted allocated capacity. You don't need to waste allocating a whole box to run a handler each time, say, someone uploads a file to S3.
