    An starter kit with some boilerplate code for getting started with making low-cost Serverless applications in Python on AWS with a great local development setup via Docker Compose

    If you want to get started with this framework, I've made a simple Docker and Docker Compose starter-kit I invite you to play with. It is Python, however. Check it out if it helps: https://github.com/DevOps-Nirvana/Chalice-PynamoDB-Docker-Starter-Kit

  • Previous Serverless Version 0.5.x

    ⚡ Serverless Framework – Build web, mobile and IoT applications with serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google CloudFunctions & more! –

    If you'd like to use Lambda, usually you need to engineer FOR it, from day one, you don't (often) get to choose some other framework and shoehorn it into Lambda and Serverless. There's some great frameworks to help deploy code into Lambda easily and create REST endpoints for things, one such frameworks is serverless.com that helps easily deploy to it, but it lacks a framework for doing REST that also supports local emulation (as easily). For that, I recommend a framework by AWS called Chalice. This is an amazing REST framework that runs a proxy that works locally and deploys exactly the same on Lambda, it is Python however.
