The Serverless Framework automates a lot of the resource allocation and packaging of the functions with a CLI tool named “serverless”. When I develop serverless functions they can be difficult to debug without actually deploying the functions and that’s why I’ve incorporated the Serverless Offline…

The Serverless Stack (SST) Platform

Serverless Stack (serverless-stack.com) is another rapid serverless application development platform for AWS. SST (as it is also known) promises to streamline development and allow local debug of AWS Lambdas. It uses the AWS CDK and a set of its own constructs and configuration settings to make building serverless applications easier, and provide a more helpful developer experience by providing live debugging and updating of Lambda functions at development time. Lambdas support JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang, Python, C# and F#, though at…
