Learn SERVERLESS-FRAMEWORK with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 27, 2025
Architecture
Configuration file defines functions, events, and resources
Serverless CLI handles packaging, deployment, and monitoring
Plugins extend functionality or integrate services
Deployed functions run in managed cloud provider environments
Supports multi-stage deployments (dev, staging, prod)
Rendering Model
Serverless CLI reads YAML config
Packages code and dependencies per function
Deploys to cloud provider APIs
Monitors logs and execution status
Handles function scaling automatically
Architectural Patterns
Event-driven architecture
Microservices or function-based decomposition
Infrastructure-as-code with declarative configs
CI/CD integrated deployments
Serverless orchestration via events and queues
Real World Architectures
REST APIs using AWS Lambda + API Gateway
ETL pipelines triggered by S3 or event streams
Real-time notifications via SNS/SQS
GraphQL backend for mobile apps
Microservice backend for SaaS platforms
Design Principles
Developer productivity with high-level abstraction
Multi-cloud provider support
Event-driven and serverless-first architecture
Extensibility via plugins
Infrastructure-as-code for reproducible deployments
Scalability Guide
Use provider-native auto-scaling
Decompose functions for single responsibility
Batch events to reduce invocation overhead
Cache dependencies in deployment package
Monitor execution and adjust memory/time settings
Migration Guide
Port AWS SAM or Terraform-defined functions
