Feathers: Serverless documentation

[samuelthompson189]

Are there any guides or examples of feathers being used with AWS lamda? I am wanting to go totally serverless but most of the examples and the CLI tool use an express http server.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Although it is possible to add other transport mechanisms, currently only Express, Socket.io and Primus are supported. Future plans include direct Node HTTP/HTTP2 and potentially MQTT.

Personally I am not planning on adding support for any proprietary technologies but if that is something you would like to look into, the code of @feathersjs/express would probably be a good starting point (it's only ~200 lines).

I think that, using the Serverless framework and using this article as inspiration and as a starting point (it's not about Feathers but about Apollo with Express on top of the Serverless framework, running on AWS Lambda) it should be doable to get a basic Feathers app up and running:

I could give it a shot and play around a bit.

It's been a while that this thread is open. @leob Were you able to figure out this. Can you please share your understanding on this so far. Thanks!

@banisirohi I totally forgot about this ... no to be honest I didn't dive into it, however you triggered me to do a quick Google search and look what I found:

@leob Thanks for responding and sharing those link. Will look through. Cheers

I am going to close this issue, since I don't think there will be much further activity. In summary:

• If you are interested in implementing (and maintaining) a serverless transport adapter, please comment here
• If you would like to support development of a serverless transport adapter, you can sign up for a gold or platinum sponsorship and contact me directly
