AWS SAM support for HashiCorp Terraform is GA
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/aws-sam-support-for-hashicorp-terraform-now-generally-available/
Terraform and AWS SAM are both open-source frameworks allowing to define IaC. However, because AWS SAM is designed for serverless, it includes a CLI for serverless development. The CLI enables developers to create, debug, and deploy serverless applications using local emulators along with build and deployment tools. In this release, AWS SAM is making a subset of those tools to Terraform users as well.

I've certainly used the #ServerlessFramework or #AwsSam (or ECS / EC2) professionally many times, but there is so many decisions that something like #SvelteKit handles for you like #Typescript, dev server reloading, local environment vars, bundling for #serverless, etc. It is so painless to add these frameworks to a service like Vercel or Netlify and get #ContinuousDeployment with zero effort. Do we have full-featured opinionated frameworks like that for an #ExpressJs like setup?

Spent the afternoon exploring #TypeScript – specifically, in the context of #AWSLambda and #AWSSAM.

Loved what it did to the code base. Disgusted by what it took to enable it in the template.yaml. Loathed and detested what it did to the build process and the generated artefact.

-3 out of 10; would not recommend.
