Standardized and provider-agnostic offerings

Because the serverless ecosystem is at a nascent state, there is no standardized implementation of services across vendors. This makes an adopter lock in to a vendor. While that is not necessarily a bad thing in the case of established players like AWS or Google, there are business requirements that mandate a provider migration. This exercise is in no way trivial, and can incur significant rewrites.
