About:
Serverless is a CLI framework that enables developers to build and deploy serverless applications using functions-as-a-service (FaaS) providers like AWS Lambda. It simplifies the entire workflow from configuration to deployment, allowing teams to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure management. The framework supports multiple cloud providers and offers a plugin ecosystem for extending functionality.
Key Features:
  • Multi-cloud provider support (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.)
  • Infrastructure as Code with simplified configuration
  • Extensive plugin ecosystem for customization
  • Local development and testing capabilities
  • Function deployment and lifecycle management
Use Cases:
  • Building and deploying RESTful APIs using Lambda functions
  • Creating event-driven microservices architectures
  • Developing real-time data processing pipelines
  • Prototyping serverless applications quickly
Alternatives:
  • AWS SAM – AWS-specific, while Serverless supports multiple cloud providers
  • Terraform – General infrastructure tool vs. Serverless' function-focused approach
  • Architect – Simpler alternative with less configuration but fewer features
