Serverless computing is quickly becoming a defacto way to build highly scalable fault tolerant systems. With the pay-per-execution pricing model, zero administration, and automatic scaling it's easy to see why.
The Serverless Framework is the application framework for building web, mobile and IoT applications on serverless, event-driven compute services.
This new level of operational abstraction has it's benefits but also introduces some additional complexities, thus the serverless framework was born.
We currently support [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/) and are adding support for [Google CloudFunctions](https://cloud.google.com/functions/), [Azure Functions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/) and more.
The Serverless Framework is a command line interface for building web, mobile and IoT applications on serverless, event-driven compute services.
The Serverless command line interface provides scaffolding, automation and best practices for developing and deploying your serverless architecture.
The CLI provides scaffolding, automation and best practices for developing and deploying your serverless architecture.
Designed from the ground up to be extendable via plugins, It's easy to extend functionality to fit your unique needs.

# About the project
While AWS Lambda offers a powerful new way of developing/running applications, when we began building our first project based entirely on AWS Lambda, we realized structure was badly needed.
Managing all of the containers that Lambda introduces is a difficult task. Add to that multi-developer teams, multi-stage and multi-region support and you will quickly get into a messy situation.
Thus, the Serverless Framework was born. The first and most powerful framework for building applications exclusively on AWS Lambda.
Serverless is an MIT open source project and is actively maintained by a full-time, venture-backed team.
