Serverless CGI

Because serverless is just cgi-bin. And I just had surgery so painkiller made this seem like a hilarious idea.

This is a serverless framework and AWS Lambda based simple CGI service. Just drop your scripts into the cgi-bin directory.

Example use

Here's how to install and deploy your CGI script (hello-world.pl in this case).

$ npm i -g serverless
$ sls install https://github.com/dschep/serverless-cgi
$ sls deploy
