> PSA: porting an existing application one-to-one to serverless almost never goes as expected.
Came here to post this and agree 100%. Moving to Serverless requires evaluating the entire stack, including the server side language choice, and how the client handles API calls.
Often a move to serverless is better accomplished gradually in stages than the quick "lift and shift" that AWS like to talk about so much. Sometimes you can simply plop your existing app down in Lambdas and it runs just fine, but this is the exception not the rule.
