Many comments seem to miss the point that nowadays native AWS cloud applications are meant to be built by combining various AWS services using Lambda as the glue between them. It's not about serverless vs non-serverless: it's about using cloud services for the purpose they are each good at. In many cases you might actually have more IaC code than Lambda handler code, especially if you can leverage services like AppSync and Step Functions. The application is no longer a set of microservices; it's a set of CDK / CloudFormation stacks and the resources that they define, some of which might be microservices.
