In my view, this is why cloud exists. You can externalize as much of your software stack as possible to the cloud platform, and only implement and maintain yourself the parts that differentiate. On AWS, this means using Lambda, Step Functions, AppSync, API Gateway, DynamoDB etc. and letting the cloud provider worry about maintaining most of the technology stack.
