Step 1: Create Your Project Directory
This creates a dedicated folder for your serverless project, making it easy to manage and deploy.
mkdir my_first_app
Step 2: Install Serverless Package
a) First, install the Serverless Framework with npm:
npm install serverless
b) Next, let's generate your very first serverless project using this command:
serverless
This sets up a basic serverless project structure for you. ??
Step 3: Setup Configurations
Before we can deploy, we need to configure AWS credentials.
a) Navigate to your user directory, typically something like: C:\Users\YourUserName\.aws
b) In this folder, create two crucial files: config and credentials. These files will securely store your AWS configuration and credentials, allowing you to interact with AWS services seamlessly.
config
credentials
Note: I am assuming the account you are using to deploy lambda has required permissions otherwise you will receive an error while deploying
here are the roles that I have assigned to my user account.
Step 4: Deploy Your Project
With everything set up, it's time to deploy your serverless application to AWS. Run this command:
serverless deploy
This command will package and deploy your project to AWS Lambda and other associated services. You'll see your application come to life in the cloud! ??
Serverless computing on AWS is a game-changer, offering scalability and cost-efficiency without the hassle of managing servers. So, whether you're building a web app, an API, or a backend service, serverless is worth exploring.
