The Serverless Framework – Build applications comprised of microservices that run in response to events, auto-scale for you, and only charge you when they run. This lowers the total cost of maintaining your apps, enabling you to build more logic, faster.
The Framework uses new event-driven compute services, like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and more. It's a command-line tool, providing scaffolding, workflow automation and best practices for developing and deploying your serverless architecture. It's also completely extensible via plugins.
Check out the Serverless Framework Dashboard for monitoring, troubleshooting, ci/cd and more features for serverless teams.
Serverless is actively maintained by Serverless Inc.

serverless invoke -f hello -l- Invoke the Function on your machine:
Invokes an AWS Lambda Function on your local machine and returns logs.
serverless invoke local -f hello -l- Fetch the Function Logs:
