The Serverless framework is the most popular deployment framework for serverless applications. It gives you a convenient abstraction over CloudFormation and some best practices out-of-the-box:Filters out dev dependencies for Node.js function.Update deployment packages to S3, which lets you work around the default 50MB limit on deployment packages.Enforces a consistent naming convention for functions and APIs.But our serverless applications is not only about Lambda functions. We often have to deal with share resources such as VPCs, SQS queues and RDS databases. For example, you might have a centralised Kinesis stream to capture all applications events in the system. In this case, the stream doesn’t belong to any one project and shouldn’t be tied to their deployment cycles.You still need (...)

Lambda is a terrific piece of kit for all the benefits listed on the #aws product page and Serverless is a very useful framework for developing Lambda functions. However, developing serverless applications locally is a total pain if what you’re solving isn’t totally trivial.When things get complicated and your Lambda functions start to integrate with other AWS services, things really begin to break down. There are a few things that look like silver-bullets, I’ll share them here and explain why they didn’t work for me, then give you a working example that I myself struggled to find(hence me writing this).LocalstackLocalstack is definitely the biggest attempt silver bullet here. Basically emulate a huge chunk of AWS locally and connect your serverless functions into that. Why I didn’t use (...)

ServerlessServerless is one of the new buzz word right now, what does it really means? Serverless computing allows us to focus on building the application without managing infrastructure and scaling. Serverless doesn’t mean no servers at all. It is still there, but we are not going to manage it. The best part is that you only pay for the amount of resources each request consumed. Each request to the serverless function is allocated and the application code runs in a stateless container.Advantages: Horizontally scalable Pay for what you use* Infrastructure managed by service providerAWS LambdaAWS provides serverless service called "Lambda" which can be used to deploy and run serverless applications. AWS lambda lets us run any #python WSGI based applications on cloud. It To (...)
