Scalable Web Scraping with Serverless - Part 1

The only thing I can't get behind with serverless is how attached to the AWS infrastructure it all is. The amount of boilerplate setup is heinous.
There are ways to get around the vendor lock-in but it does require some forethought.
Having to plan around that just makes it not worth the effort to me. You're now wasting time fighting these environments instead of building your product.
It's not that bad to jump ship to others, just need to pick things correctly where you sidestep the vender lock-in (picking the right DB, etc)
