Fortunately, new tools have come out over the past several years to address exactly this problem. AWS's Serverless Application Model (SAM) enables developers to design, develop, and deploy entire serverless apps directly onto AWS using Lambda and CloudFormation. Other tools, such as the open-source project Serverless, aim to create similar zero-infrastructure deployment experiences for serverless applications on AWS and other cloud providers.
By contrast, Docker is pretty much a de facto standard. A Docker container that works on AWS's ECS will also run on Azure App Service, Google Cloud Run, and Kubernetes.

AWS Lambda is a "serverless" service that enables running code in the cloud. With Lambda, application developers can package code written in a variety of programming languages - including Java, Go, C#, Python, Powershell, Node.js, and Ruby - into a callable function that complies with their language's Lambda interface. They can then upload these Lambda functions to their AWS accounts, where they can be executed from anywhere over the Internet.
