Serverless Framework
Serverless, Serverless Framework or Serverless Architecture is a free and open-source web framework written using Node.js. Serverless is the first framework for building applications exclusively on AWS Lambda, a serverless computing platform provided by Amazon as a part of the Amazon Web Services. A Serverless app can simply be a couple of lambda functions to accomplish some tasks, or an entire back-end composed of hundreds of lambda functions.[1] Serverless currently supports Node.js and Python runtimes. Support for Java and other future runtimes that AWS Lambda will support will be coming soon.[2] Serverless is developed by Austen Collins[2] and maintained by a dedicated, full-time team.[3]
History
Serverless was first introduced in October 2015 under the name JAWS.[4]
In 2016 Serverless was funded by a top tier VC firm in Silicon Valley.[2]
