Serverless is a framework to easily use different microservices providers. I provide a custom version with different tools that I normally use every time I create a new Serverless Project.
Such tools are:
- MongoDB (ready to use, with some functions created to provide ease of use)
- WebPack (Serverless Webpack plugin is needed for local debug)
- Request-Promise (This package is used to fetch content from websites)
- Cheerio (Package to easily parse web contents)
Installation
$ git clone https://github.com/joadr/serverless-boilerplate [name of your app]
$ cd [name of your app]
$ rm -rf .git
$ yarn
$ serverless webpack invoke --function sayHelloConfig Mongo & Amazon AWS
In order to use MongoDB you must create a file called env.yml which sets environment variables in your service provider. Then just provide the credentials there like below:
MONGO_URL: mongodb://user:password@server:port/databaseName
