Testing AWS Lambda functions with AWS SAM remote invoke
Serverless developers are looking for the most efficient way to test their applications in the AWS Cloud. They want to invoke an AWS Lambda function quickly without having to mock security, external services, or other environment variables. This blog shows how to use the new AWS SAM remote invoke feature to do just that.
Implementing cross-account CI/CD with AWS SAM for container-based Lambda functions
Containerized applications often have several distinct environments and accounts, such as dev, test, and prod. An application has to go through a process of deployment and testing in these environments. One common pattern for deploying containerized applications is to have a central AWS create a single container image, and carry out deployment across other AWS accounts. To achieve automated deployment of the application across different environments, customers use CI/CD pipelines with familiar container tooling. This blog post explores how to use AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) Pipelines to create a CI/CD deployment pipeline and deploy a container-based Lambda function across multiple accounts.
