Getting started with Lambda isn't hard at all. But if you are shooting for a super simple API you are still left with a lot of boilerplate things and missing pieces to make it really useful. Each which have their own small gotchas. Testing, deployments, API Gateway, cors, staged deployments, database setup, roles, permissions, javascript modules, dependency install, etc. It can still be a decent amount of work to get to something straightforward: A datasource accessible through lambda driven by a restful API written with Javascript with no hoops for pulling in additional js dependencies. Serverless helps you get there without worrying about all that boilerplate.
