How is serverless.com related to AWS?

Question

I created free account in serverless.com. Then I installed serverless locally. Next I deployed simple "hello world" function

It works. REST Get returns as expected. But where this lambda function is deployed? It is not visible in AWS console nor return by the following command

aws lambda list-functions       
{
    "Functions": []
}

Answer 1

Why is the AWS CLI is not listing my function?

# make sure you are looking at the right region
# if region not specified, the cli will use the .aws/config default
aws lambda list-functions  --region eu-west-1  

How is serverless.com related to AWS?

The Serverless Framework, which is independent of AWS, describes itself as "Zero-friction development tooling for auto-scaling apps on AWS Lambda". It is one way of many to deploy serverless components to AWS.

Answer 2

Serverless.com (https://www.serverless.com/) along with AWS SAM(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/) is the two approach we can take advantage of building a Serverless Architecture for Projects.

Serverless mainly have a serverless.yml and it does use a cloudformation stack to deploy.
