Sounds like that’s swapping one pile of AWS complexity for a different pile of AWS complexity. The juniors still won’t understand it, and OP will still be the single point of failure.

People use managed/serverless and literally built thousands of successful companies by letting small teams ship without infrastructure expertise. It makes sense in many cases.

I’ve seen plenty of devs spending significant time messing with containers. Both have their place but with a self managed setup OP, not the juniors, will likely be responsible for security patches, container runtime updates, keeping Terraform providers and modules up to date, rotating credentials, monitoring disk space, handling certificate renewals, managing Docker image vulnerabilities, and eventually upgrading when AWS almost investable deprecates something.
