As an AWS focused solutions/systems architect, I've been feeling this for the last 10ish months too. I attended the first 9 re:Invent conferences (up until Covid upended things) but I was glad I didn't attend last year; and re:Inforce sounds like it was even worse.

Aws serverless is a scam also. Lambda with step functions just to run some functions in order without having to scale servers?

Its just ridiculous how much complexity it adds, and the performance is abysmal compared to local function calls as well. It's like younger devs have never written a fast application without aws.

In theory, running a serverless function can provide adequate response times at costs that are unreachable with private servers. It's basically those services that would run your application for few minutes every time it received a request, but with theoretically lower overhead since it's supposed to be a function instead of a full application.
