sls-mentor VS swarmion

This compilation is based on 🛡 sls-mentor 🛡, my free open-source tool that automatically checks 30 serverless best practices on your AWS serverless projects (no matter the framework). Feel free to check it out!

I recently packaged my awesome, open-source, AWS stack auditing tool SLS-mentor into a github action. On this occasion, I was confronted with the question of reproducibly configuring AWS authentication on a remote CI/CD job. In this article, I will explain to you how to proceed.

It is considered best-practice to use failure destinations on all your asynchronous Lambda functions (for data retention and notification purposes). Remember sls-mentor? It automatically checks that you use failure destinations on all your asynchronous Lambda functions, so that you know where to put your efforts first.

With my team we have been building sls-mentor, a free and open source tool to audit your serverless stack on AWSand to give you tips to improve it!

We've got existing issues waiting for contributors, and we are open to new ideas too! Feel free to join us on GitHub!

It is basically a big cloud linter, feel free to check it out to learn more about AWS!

Introducing sls-mentor: a new open-source tool allowing you to audit your AWS serverless infrastructure. Like linters, it is based on rules, and it implements a rule verifying that all your S3 Buckets have "Block public access" enabled.

But a problem persists: how do I simply now which Lambda functions are using these deprecated runtimes? This is where sls-mentor comes in. It is a CLI tool that allows you to audit your AWS serverless infrastructure. It can be used to find deprecated runtimes on your Lambda functions.

As I dived in this topic, I added a security check to the audit tool that I use in my team: sls-mentor. This is an open source audit tool that helps us enforce best practices on our projects. Don’t hesitate to try it and send feedback to the team via a GitHub issue, the project is actively maintained. 😉

In this series, I try to explain the basics of serverless on AWS, to enable you to build your own serverless applications. During last article, I showed you how to use contracts to use 🐝 swarmion 🐝 to create Lambda functions easily and type them strongly. Today, let's continue with the same idea to improve our developer experience with DynamoDB!

But how to create a contract? The best library I know is called @swarmion/serverless-contracts, created by team Swarmion. It exports super useful utils that will make the contracts we create very powerful in the scope of an AWS serverless application. Follow the article and you will understand why!

swarmion: A set of tools to build and deploy type-safe serverless microservices with Typescript.

🐝 TLDR: an example app has just been added in swarmion, so you can now bootstrap a ready-to-use Next.js project!

Leverage Serverless Framework's powerful plugin ecosystem and install the @swarmion/serverless-cdk-plugin. Check out our github open source repository!
