Introduction

Welcome to the world of modern CI/CD with Razorops and the Serverless Framework! In this comprehensive guide, we will take you on a journey to seamlessly set up a robust CI/CD pipeline for Lambda functions. 

We'll begin by creating a simple "Hello World" Lambda function, allowing you to get familiar with the Serverless Framework and its effortless deployment capabilities. Next, we'll dive into the setup of Razorops, a powerful CI/CD platform, to automate your entire deployment process efficiently.

Prerequisites:

1. A aws account 
2. Project Setup:

   • Fork the repository code from this link: GitHub Link

3. Razorops Account:

• To create your pipeline for the forked project, you will need an account on Razorops.

• Sign up for an account at Razorops Sign Up.

• If you need assistance in creating a pipeline in Razorops, refer to this guide: Getting Started Guide.

      4. Familiarity with YAML and .razorops.yaml:

• You should have a basic understanding of YAML files and the structure of the .razorops.yaml file.

• The .razorops.yaml file is placed in your project and is used to configure the Razorops pipeline.

• Refer to the Razorops Documentation for a guide on the .razorops.yaml file.

What is aws lambda and serverless framework

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows developers to run code without managing servers explicitly. With Lambda, you can upload your code, and AWS takes care of automatically provisioning and managing the necessary infrastructure to execute that code. This serverless approach frees developers from the burden of server management, scaling, and maintenance, allowing them to focus solely on writing code for their applications.

The Serverless Framework is an open-source toolset designed to simplify the development, deployment, and management of serverless applications across multiple cloud providers, including AWS Lambda. It provides an abstraction layer on top of cloud infrastructure, making it easier for developers to define, deploy, and manage serverless functions and resources.

Create aws IAM role for serverless

When using the Serverless Framework to deploy and manage your AWS Lambda functions, you'll need to set up a programmatic user account within your AWS account. This user account is used by the Serverless Framework to interact with AWS services on your behalf, performing actions such as creating and updating Lambda functions, setting up API Gateway endpoints, managing IAM roles, and more.

Create lambda function using serverless framework

we’ll create a simple hello world app. First, use Serverless CLI tool to bootstrap our project, the Serverless framework is easy to install. First, you need a Node.js runtime.

npm install -g serverless

~ serverless --version
Framework Core: 3.33.0
Plugin: 6.2.3
SDK: 4.3.2
