How to manually deploy serverless nodejs project in aws lambda?

Question

Hi I have ran serverless package --stage test command in my local then a .serverless folder is created .serverless folder content:

• cloudformation-template-create-stack.json
• cloudformation-template-update-stack.json
• my-backend.zip
• serverless-state.json

My doubt is do i need to upload all these files to aws lambda while doing manual serverless deploy? Please help

You don't need to do anything with these files manually. Whenever serverless deploy is ran, it will handle all uploading for you. If you want to deploy with prebuild package, you can use --package flag to serverless deploy.
