my personal automation tool. it's used to to literally all the things i can without having to deploy a backend

Serverless trash

Let's be real, devs. We all have thousands of projects we'll never finish, and ever more we'll never start.

That's why i created this repo. I know perfectly that I won't never do whatever I wanna do if it takes more than 30s to do it ; that infra should not cost anything, and that all the pipelines should already be ready.

This repo is a simple barebone vercel app which aim is to deploy only lambda functions easily. It's pre-configured, and only need a few env vars here and there to make it somehow safe.

Features

1. Typescript native, thanks to vercel

2. Auto deploy thanks to vercel and github actions

3. Preview deployments on pull requests, if I ever needed to PR myself

4. A bunch of pre-configured api clients and other neat tools on /lib (I couldn't use /api since Vercel reserves the /api for their lambdas)

5. .env support (it's normally at nextjs' level, Vercel only allows to pull the file from cli)

6. eslint as testing, because I don't need more than Typescript already provides

7. Fairly straightforward generators with plop

Setup

There's pretty much no setup. Simply clone and run in Vercel should do. Depending on what you aim to use, maybe some environment variables will be expected.

Recommendations

Protect all your endpoints against spamming:

import type { VercelRequest, VercelResponse } from '@vercel/node'

import { config } from 'dotenv'
import { withSecret } from '../lib'

config()

export default withSecret((req: VercelRequest, res: VercelResponse) => {
  res.status(200).end('OK')
})
