Have you been frustrated trying to figure out how to locally debug a Lambda Function? Or maybe this whole serverless thing sounds cool, but you had a hard time figuring out a developer workflow that didn't feel like walking across broken glass? Have no fear, today we're going to work together to learn how to debug a simple serverless application!
You need a few things to start developing serverlessly:
- An AWS account: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
- The AWS CLI: https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
- The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI: https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/
- The Stackery CLI: https://docs.stackery.io/docs/using-stackery/cli/
- Docker: https://docs.docker.com/install/#supported-platforms
Phew! It seems like a lot to install all these tools, but in the tradition of great software each tool builds on the foundation of the others.
