I guess a lot depends on your developer costs, a docker in e.g. GCPs cloud run costs peanuts compared to a devs salary per month. IMO the less you need to code on top of your actual business logic functions - the better off you are for small projects. Docker is still one of the best options, as if your tiny app is somehow business critical you can easily migrate it to other infra. With lambdas you’re stuck on AWS.

> With lambdas you’re stuck on AWS. You're not getting stuck on AWS because you added a lambda to offload a background task, or because you implemented a low-traffic REST API with API Gateway. If you're rethinking where you deploy services, your decision won't factor in these irrelevant details. Odds are you are more concerned with S3 and CloudWatch than REST APIs.
