Build serverless apps with SAM Accelerate and SAM Pipelines - AWS Summit India 2022

When building serverless applications, you have a wide range of options for building your infrastructure and developing your code. Understanding how to treat both your infrastructure and application as code can improve efficiency, build flexibility, and save time. The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications.

In this session, we demonstrate how to use SAM templates to manage serverless infrastructure as code. We share best practices for using the AWS SAM CLI and the recently announced AWS SAM Accelerate to develop and debug serverless applications on your local machine. We also showcase the ease of CI/CD workflows with SAM pipelines to multiple staging environments.

    The Serverless Riddler
    Riddler wants to move to a
    Serverless app which retrieves his
    riddles.
    But he thinks its a lot of time to
    deploy over AWS CloudFormation
    update stack!

    Building SAM Pipelines
    Deployment pipelines for automated cloud deployment to different
    staging environments. AWS SAM Pipelines facilitates templates for
    CI/CD pipeline providers -
    ● GitHub Actions
    ● AWS CodePipeline
    ● GitLab CI/CD
    ● Jenkins

    SAM Pipelines CLI Commands
    • SAM pipeline bootstrap – Use this walkthrough to setup a CI/CD
    pipeline.
    • SAM pipeline init - This command generates your CI/CD pipeline
    configuration file with the details of different stages and IAM
    permissions.
    • SAM build - This command will build your workstation with the
    SAM template and the built artifacts would be available in the .aws-
    sam/build directory.
    • SAM deploy - Using AWS CloudFormation, it will deploy the “built
    artifacts” to the designated AWS Account.

    The Serverless Riddler CI/CD Pipeline
    Riddler is happy with the way how
    developers can use `sam sync`
    to develop and test faster.
    Time to go live?
    Well, Riddler would want a CI/CD
    pipeline implemented before
    going live!
