> Another price to pay is complexity; it's simply more difficult to build, deploy, and monitor serverless systems.
What do you mean by serverless systems?
My experience isn't with AWS, but with Azure, so maybe it isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.
My experience has been that building, deploying and monitoring even moderately complex, interdependent Azure Functions has been less difficult than building the equivalent services to deploy to IaaS or on-prem. FWIW, a big part of that reduced complexity has been offloading infrastructure management to Azure instead our IT guys, but deployment and monitoring has also been practically painless. Are there some complexity "gotchas" that I've missed?
