Serverless Framework
Purpose
CLI/deployment framework for serverless applications and cloud infrastructure.
Decision Summary
Useful cloud automation tool with material v4 licensing and vendor-dependency considerations.
Use Cases
Functions, APIs, events, stages/regions, packaging, deployment and CI/CD.
Field Notes
Keep keys out of source. Use least-privilege IAM. Review v4 licensing, login dependency and provider costs per client.
Hardware Requirements
Supported Node.js on developer/CI hosts, cloud credentials and provider tooling; runtime resources are cloud-supplied and billed.
Backup Strategy
Source, serverless.yml, lockfiles, plugins, CI/CD, secret references and cloud inventory.
Recovery Strategy
Recreate from lockfiles, authenticate/licence, deploy clean stage and validate functions, events, IAM and rollback.
Secure Boot Notes
Not directly applicable to this software/service. Secure Boot depends on the host OS, endpoint or hypervisor; keep it enabled where supported.
Version History
v4 GA in 2024 with major licensing/pricing changes from v3.
