Resources can be managed more efficiently, cold starts are not a thing, you have predictable latencies, it does serve way more concurrent requests at a fraction of the cost.
I go for lambda when i need a service that can scale down, but not when i need to scale up efficiently.
Debugging is easier, connection pooling is not an accident, processes' limits and isolation can be managed anyway.
