Cloud Native web application development: what's it all about?

• aws-sam-cli

  22 6,445 9.8 Python

  CLI tool to build, test, debug, and deploy Serverless applications using AWS SAM

  

One technology area that I feel still needs improvement is the developer experience. Since all the services that you are using are cloud based, it becomes a bit of a challenge setting up local developer environments. There are tools and libraries available to create local versions of the services that you are using. For example Amazon has the Serverless Application Model and the aws-sam-cli, similar developer tools exist for other providers, but there isn’t a whole lot of standardisation, so this area can be a bit confusing. I expect the tooling to improve over time.

• serverless-books-api

  1 2 0.0 JavaScript

  Implements a Books API for a Library, intended to be run on AWS Lambda/DynamoDB using serverless

I have had good results using some of these techniques in my Serverless Books API application. In my case the layers are named slightly differently, with handlers, utilities and adapter layers, but the idea is the same. Each layer encapsulates some bits of information so that the core handler functions don’t need to know exactly how the storage has been implemented.
