You front production with an API gateway and version your APIs. You turn migrations into a business validation and testing process rather than a technical dependency; using the load balancer / gateway as the control lever.

In this way, serverless can actually be WAY better than traditional methods for dealing with frequent changes. You can have many valid endpoints, but only one “production” endpoint that changes based on business rules (or even split for A/B testing)

For some infrastructures and processes that may make sense. The problem for us was that when something didn't work as expected, it was very difficult to determine what was going wrong.
