docker-lambda

Logged in to say that this has actually been done (not by me) and my team has been finding it very helpful for local “serverless” SDLC: https://github.com/lambci/docker-lambda . It‘s billed as “ A sandboxed local environment that replicates the live AWS Lambda environment almost identically – including installed software and libraries, file structure and permissions, environment variables, context objects and behaviors – even the user and running process are the same.” We test our functions mocked and against local deployments of that lambci container . There also lambda “layers” (container images for building custom runtimes for AWS Lambda) but we have not used that feature at this point. Interesting space with lots of room for improvement in this tool chain though for sure

I was wondering this too a few years back when serverless started to gain traction. I remember thinking it sounded like a lot of mock infrastructure. Just did a search and found the following links interesting: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/the-best-ways-to-test-your-s... https://github.com/lambci/docker-lambda It seems non-trivial to set up at this point EDIT: Still reading into it... https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/te... Would love to here a best practice case study from someone who has deployed something like this
