Creating a new service

serverless create --name myNewService --provider aws

This example will create a new service called myNewService. A new directory with the name myNewService will be created in your current working directory. It contains the boilerplate necessary to operate your new service.

Your new service will have a default stage called dev and a default region inside that stage called us-east-1. The provider which is used for deployment later on is AWS (Amazon web services).
