serverless-offline

Hi, I'm the creator of serverless-offline (https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline), a NPM package for local serveless development on AWS. I'm building a cool product and intend to launch Q1 2023. To gain traction from my target customers, I plan to place a discrete ad at the launch of every serverless-offline instance. Does it seem like an ok move to you? Or is it something that repels you? Best,

serverless-offline (https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline) is a great tool to use for local development of serverless applications. It's not a complete mirror image of what you get but it's close enough in my experience.

I personally like SAM, but there is https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline as well

The Serverless framework provides offline functionality (https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline) to do this - I've found it works pretty well.

Yeah, that's probably the worst part of 'serverless computing.' If using the serverless framework, the serverless-offline plugin[0] supports JS/Node but not Python. [0] https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline

I use http://serverless.com to manage and deploy my Lambda functions, then I use https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline to run a local copy of most things needed. Not perfect yet, but really helped me getting moving fast.

My real problem with serverless (right now) is that it just destroys your ability to have an efficient development workflow. Unless you want to use the really specific nodejs serverless framework, you're really in trouble. (As far as I can tell, https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline is the only offline-API-gateway). If AWS really wants to drive adoption of their more-proprietary cloud tech, they're going to have to drive harder on local dev workflows. Google is doing better here (e.g. https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/emulator and https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/emulator) As someone who cares greatly about productive developer environments (it's a reasonable portion of my day job), I wouldn't touch serverless right now. Things slow down way too drastically if you have to push to the cloud to test what you're building.
