This template demonstrates how to make a simple REST API with Node.js running on AWS Lambda and API Gateway using the traditional Serverless Framework.
This template does not include any kind of persistence (database). For a more advanced examples check out the examples repo which includes Typescript, Mongo, DynamoDB and other examples.
Run this command to initialize a new project in a new working directory.
sls init aws-node-rest-api
Deploy
This example is made to work with the Serverless Framework dashboard which includes advanced features like CI/CD, monitoring, metrics, etc.
$ serverless login
$ serverless deploy
To deploy without the dashboard you will need to remove org and app fields from the serverless.yml, and you won’t have to run sls login before deploying.
Invoke the function locally.
serverless invoke local --function hello
Invoke the function
curl https://xxxxxxxxx.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/
