I'm glad to have different opinions on this topic. I've been successfully building large Serverless Apps for a while now and couldn't be happier. I don't consider Lambda == Serverless so that umbrella to me includes things like SQS, SNS, Kinesis, DDB, EventBridge etc. Lambda is just a piece.

If I wanted < 5ms latency consistently, it's not my goto for things like that. So sure, a container and gRPC or another mechanism for communicating makes more sense. I might not even choose something Event-Driven in that case.

Simpler and faster ... again just opinions. Love the dialogue though and thanks for weighing in :)
