Can I call my Postgres deployment on Azure via AWS lambda?

Yes you can, but even that wouldn't be lock-in. Lock-in imo had much more to do with whether you have to write your code specifically to the vendor, and in the case of all 3 FaaS, the answer is mostly "not really." It is trivial to transfer the same behavior from lambda to Google cloud functions.

This is a pretty fair point about service discovery. Without proper service discovery, Lambda is pretty useless IMO.
