I'd disagree. I chose AWS over GCP precisely because of the relative ease of deploying Lambda. That in turn led me to use DynamoDB and S3.

I started off with GCP, Cloud Storage and Cloud Firestore, but it was such a hassle and in the end, I couldn't even manage to run my Cloud Functions. The 10s cold start time was another non starter factor that led me to switch.

Honestly, I don't see myself staying with DynamoDB or AWS lambda. I definitely prefer local-hosted data stores such as on a DO droplet, and I would have started off with them were it not for their shoddy service. AWS service has been extremely strong so far.
