The Serverless Framework is a free and open-source web framework written using Node.js. Serverless is the first framework that was originally developed for building applications exclusively on AWS Lambda, a serverless computing platform provided by Amazon as a part of the Amazon Web Services. Currently, applications developed with Serverless can be deployed to other function as a service providers, including Microsoft Azure with Azure Functions, IBM Bluebix with IBM Cloud Functions based on Apache OpenWhisk, Google Cloud using Google Cloud Functions, Kubeless based on Kubernetes, Spotinst and Webtask by Auth0.[1]
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.[2] Serverless currently supports Node.js and Python runtimes. Support for Java and other runtimes for AWS Lambda will be coming soon.[3] Serverless is developed by Austen Collins[3] and maintained by a full-time team.[4]
It was first introduced in October 2015 under the name JAWS.[5]
