This removes nearly all of &quot;devops&quot;.  You don&#x27;t have to mess around with figuring out how many ec2 instances you need (or deal with auto-scaling groups), how to secure the linux or whatever you stick on the ec2 instances, etc.<p>There&#x27;s still a ton of creating zip file artifacts of your lambda payloads (instead of pushing to a magic git repository that amazon controls, say), so there&#x27;s a bit of &quot;build monkey&quot;ing to do instead of &quot;devops&quot;ery.  But I think a lot of shops will be happy to make that trade, as &quot;build&quot; is closer to their core experience than &quot;devops&quot;.
