Building Serverless apps with IaC

The importance of maintaining Serverless apps as IaC going with the lesson I've learnt from building without it.

This was presented at AWS UG Colombo monthly meet-up and the recording is available at - https://youtu.be/4mAaPF4L-ec

2. About me • Cloud Architect - Serverless @ Mobil80 Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd • AWS Community Builder • Serverless advocate • Hobbyist photographer and baker
3. Agenda • Looking into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) • How IaC helps • IaC providers for Serverless • Understanding SAM CLI • Demo with SAM CLI
4. Looking into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) • Single source of truth. • Managing and provisioning resources on the cloud with code. • Easy to replicate to multiple instances. • Best known method for CI/CD pipelines.
5. How IaC helps • Faster deployments / re-deployments / rollbacks. • Elimination of manual infrastructure provisioning. • Test in multiple instances / environments. • Consistent configuration across environments. • Minimized human bound errors. • Improvised development practice.
6. IaC providers for Serverless • AWS CloudFormation • Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI • AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) • AWS Amplify CLI • Serverless Framework • Terraform
7. Before IaC After IaC
8. Understanding SAM CLI • Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is an open source framework. • Uses YAML template for AWS resource provisions. • Powered by AWS CloudFormation. • CLI options for build - deploy to the cloud, sync infrastructure changes to cloud, building CI/CD pipelines.
