Can it handle local testing of serverless functions?

Yes, the skill covers local testing workflows, including project setup for 'sam local' and container-based builds using Docker or Finch.

What happens if my SAM template has an error?

This skill includes a PostToolUse hook that automatically runs 'sam validate' after you edit a template, alerting you to errors immediately so they can be fixed before deployment.

Does this skill support both SAM and CDK?

Yes, it provides full support for both AWS SAM (YAML templates) and AWS CDK (TypeScript or Python), including guidance on which to use for specific scenarios.

Do I need the AWS CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, the skill requires AWS CLI credentials and the SAM CLI to be configured on your host machine to perform deployments and validations.

Cloud Infrastructure

Deploys and manages production-grade serverless applications on AWS using SAM and CDK frameworks.

The AWS Serverless Deployment skill equips Claude with the specialized knowledge to architect, scaffold, and deploy serverless infrastructure. It supports both AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) for template-based deployments and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) for code-based infrastructure. The skill automates complex tasks like generating IaC templates, configuring CI/CD pipelines, managing Lambda constructs, and implementing serverless patterns for API Gateway, EventBridge, and DynamoDB, all while enforcing AWS best practices and providing real-time template validation.

Key Features

01Implement L2 constructs and serverless patterns for Lambda and API Gateway

02Manage coexistence and migration paths between SAM and CDK

03Scaffold serverless projects using AWS SAM or CDK constructs

04Automate deployment workflows and CI/CD pipeline configurations

06Generate and validate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in TypeScript, Python, or YAML

Use Cases

01Deploying a Lambda-based application with SAM and local testing via Docker

02Initializing a new serverless backend with CDK and TypeScript

03Building automated CI/CD pipelines for serverless infrastructure
