What makes an AWS serverless stack serverless?
AWS Serverless Stack – A combination of AWS offered serverless technologies including API Gateway, Lambda, S3 and etc. When Lambda was initially introduced it was challenging to develop Serverless applications using these technologies using Cloudformation. The problem was due to the complexity of writing Cloudformation for API Gateway and Lambda.
What’s the difference between AWS Lambda and AWS serverless?
AWS::Serverless::Function is for when it is used with AWS SAM, whereas AWS::Lambda::Function is for usage with plain Cloudformation. They are essentially both modelling Lambda functions, but it is just to different frameworks, that therefore have different names for more or less the same thing.
How to create AWS serverless application in Visual Studio?
This is our AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio implementation of the new AWS Serverless Application Model. Using this project type, you can develop a collection of AWS Lambda functions and deploy them with any necessary AWS resources as a whole application, using AWS CloudFormation to orchestrate the deployment.
Which is a meta resource in AWS serverless?
The template defines four resources of type AWS::Serverless::Function. This is a special meta resource defined as part of the AWS Serverless Application Model specification. The specification is a transform that is applied to the template as part of the CloudFormation deployment.
