Create a default AWS profile

Run the following commands to create default aws configs, remember to change the "Secret Access KEY" and "ACCESS KEY ID"

mkdir ~/.aws
echo "[default]
      region = ap-southeast-2" > ~/.aws/config
echo "[default]
      aws_secret_access_key = YOUR ACCESS KEY
      aws_access_key_id = YOUR ACCESS KEY ID" > ~/.aws/credentials

Create Service

(From 1.0) Service is a group of one or multiple functions and any resources they require

serverless create --template aws-nodejs

Add Api Gateway

in serverless.yml file

functions:
  InvoiceGet:
    handler: lib/functions/invoice/handler.getInvoice
    events:
      - http:
          path: invoice
          method: get

  InvoicePost:
    handler: lib/functions/invoice/handler.postInvoice
    events:
      - http:
          path: invoice
          method: post

We could put multiple functions in one js file, e.g. GET/POST/PUT handlers for the same resource

Add DynamoDB Support

All resources are defined in resources.json file, and reference it in serverless.yml

resources:
  Resources:
    $ref: ./resources.json

Deploy

serverless deploy

TODO

Currently, Serverless 1.x doesn't support transpiling and environment variable injection. We need to write a plugin to support

• custom package. using babel to transpile code
• environment variables. access project name, stage, region info from lambda function
