![Serverless Application Framework AWS Lambda API Gateway](other/img/serverless_framework_readme_large.gif)
Serverless Framework V0.1.0 (BETA)
Serverless Framework (BETA)
=================================
####The Serverless Application Framework Powered By Amazon Web Services - [serverless.com](http://www.serverless.com)
Serverless is the application framework for building serverless web, mobile and IoT applications. It's a command line interface that provides structure, automation and optimization to help you build and maintain Serverless apps across teams of any size. It's completely extensible via Plugins and developed full-time by a dedicated team.
Serverless is an application framework for building serverless web, mobile and IoT applications. Serverless comes in the form of a command line interface that provides structure, automation and optimization to help you build and maintain Serverless apps.
In the future, we believe AWS Lambda will be the focal point of AWS cloud, and the Framework approaches AWS from that perspective.
Serverless uses AWS services exclusively, since it relies on AWS's Lambda service to provide event-driven compute resources and many AWS services integrate nicely with Lambda. A Serverless app can be simply a group of lambda functions to accomplish some tasks, or an entire back-end comprised of hundreds of lambda functions.
We work on this live in our [Gitter chatroom](https://gitter.im/serverless/serverless). Enjoy :)
We made a strong effort to make not just a groundbreaking Serverless framework, but the best framework for building applications with AWS in general (that is also Serverless!). As a result, Serverless incorporates years of AWS expertise into its tooling, giving you best practices out-of-the-box.
## Install
