I'm not sure about the hater-ade in this article (old, dead languages?). I've built infrastructure for multiple companies on top of AWS Lambda. Usually bog-standard REST endpoints in Node or Python. There are a few weird bits and a few "huhs" (DB connection timeouts after a Lambda wakes up from sleep) but that's true of most systems.
True, we were only doing a few req/s but Lambda was easy to setup/use and was mostly maintenance free. As is said so often on this site: it's a tool; use it for its intended purpose.
Our development environment was very reasonable: Express or Django locally; aws-lambda->Express/Django on the lambda.
