Another idea for something in this vein is caching. For small jobs, S3 and Dynamo are my typical go-to, and while they're both "simple" it still takes some effort to get all the code in place, more effort than you usually want to dedicate to a simple cache. The most frustrating thing that can happen is an endpoint or lambda goes down because you made a mistake in the damn cache layer, I'm a big believer in the cache having near-zero mental overhead. Something to simplify a cached piece of data into 1 or 2 lines of code would be nice.
