Serverless Framework

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Serverless Framework provides zero-friction serverless development for building, deploying, and managing serverless apps on AWS Lambda and beyond, with YAML-based function definitions, single-command deployments, plugin extensibility, and built-in monitoring.

Target Customer

{"Software developers","DevOps engineers","Engineering teams","Platform/IT teams responsible for serverless applications on AWS"}

Key Differentiator

Declarative YAML-based definitions of AWS Lambda functions and triggers, one-command deployments that wire infrastructure and code together, an extensive plugin ecosystem, and integrated monitoring, debugging, and collaboration features across accounts and regions.

Implementation Timeline

Value can be realized immediately after setup, with basic deployments and monitoring available quickly; ongoing benefits as teams adopt CI/CD, previews, and plugins.

Pain Points

1Complex deployment and wiring of AWS Lambda functions and their triggers
2Fragmented observability (metrics, logs, alerts) across multiple Lambda invocations and API Gateway requests
3Managing and sharing secrets and test events across teams with secure access

Key Features

1Define AWS Lambda functions and triggers in YAML
2Deploy infrastructure and code with a single command
3Thousands of plugins to extend serverless use-cases and integrations
4Built-in monitoring: metrics, logs, alerts; Explorer for querying invocations
5Preview deployments for pull requests; collaboration and visibility across accounts/regions
6Secrets management with encryption; share secrets and test events; short-lived credentials
