About Serverless Framework
Serverless Framework is a command line tool for building apps that run on AWS Lambda. You describe your functions, events and related resources in a configuration file, then deploy them together.
What it does
The framework covers APIs, scheduled tasks, workflows and event-driven apps. Triggers and cloud resources are declared in YAML, and a single command deploys the infrastructure and the code. Plugins extend the tool, and built-in metrics and request search help when something goes wrong.
Key features
- Declare Lambda functions and triggers in YAML
- Deploy code and infrastructure with one command
- Extend the tool with a large plugin library
- Built-in metrics, alerts and request search
- Share apps and resources across a team
Who it's for
The framework suits backend teams and developers who run code on AWS and want to avoid managing servers. It is useful for teams that want their cloud setup described in code and reviewed like any other change.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source and the site says it is free for individuals and small teams. Larger teams should check the pricing page for paid options. AWS bills separately for the resources your app creates, so costs depend on your usage.
Highlights
