  • AWS credentials being sent to Serverless.com? What the hell?
    3 projects | /r/serverless | 5 Jan 2021
    I guess, to be fair they do mention it at the end of https://github.com/serverless/components. But they really make no mention of AWS creds being sent. And I guess it does make sense why they would need the creds, but they certainly don't say that they will be sent. And to be clear I did not use .env files or hardcode my creds into the command line, I used AWS_PROFILE=blah and it was smart enough to pull my creds from there.

    Yes, we do this, like other build engines, CI/CD products, and other cloud services. We try to be clear about what's happening and why in this section of the documentation: Where Do Components Run? and we discuss the cloud-based deployment approach elsewhere in the docs.

  • LocalStack and AWS Parity Explained
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Aug 2022
    Great point. Fully agree that providing a first-class local development experience is critical to the overall story of application development frameworks.

    I guess the main difference is that frameworks like Serverless provide a great experience if you fully buy into their way of doing things (i.e., implement your application assets in the Serverless YAML DSL, etc), whereas LocalStack is a generic platform that works on the API emulation level, hence integrates with most tooling out of the box.

    Making the switch from Serverless to, say, AWS CDK, or AWS SAM, or Architect framwork may not be as seamless - however, for each of these frameworks you can always run the local emulation natively on LocalStack. This can help reduce the overall vendor lock-in effect that a lot of application development frameworks come with.

    In fact, LocalStack also provides an integration with Serverless [0] - among many other tools [1].
