AWS SAM CLI

AWS Lambda looks simple when you look at the code. It’s also really easy to see the benefits. But it’s tedious to get to it to work. Take a look Alex Edward’s very good tutorial.

AWS SAM CLI is aimed to make it simpler.

My sam cli testing was based on code generated by aws-sam-cli. Local testing is done using Docker images from lambdaci/lambda.

I also described the issues running Docker containers that need Internet access, and how to solve them.
