Deploying lambda applications on AWS

Question

I am writing AWS Lambda functions for my project (node) and now trying to figure out the best way to deploy these. Ideally I would want to

1. Convert the ES7 code into a version lambda can understand possibly using webpack.
2. Deploy using a command line tool or some npm package.

What is the best way to get this done?

Answer 1

You can use serverless and serverless-webpack to do both of those.

serverless is a deployment and configuration tool.

serverless-webpack is a plugin for serverless that will compile your ES7 code upon deployment.

Answer 2

Either you canzip it and upload it or you can use automate the deployment with AWS CodePipelne. Please see here more details about automated deployment
