aws-serverless

Lets your agent build production-ready serverless applications on AWS. It handles Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and performance optimization.

What it does

This tool helps build cloud applications on Amazon (AWS) that don't require dedicated servers. It focuses on components like functions that perform specific tasks (Lambda), how they communicate (API Gateway), and how they store data (DynamoDB).

When to use it

  • ✓When you want to build a website or app that runs on the cloud without managing servers.
  • ✓When you need parts of your application to react to events, like incoming messages.
  • ✓If you want to optimize the performance and cost of cloud applications.

Example of what to ask your AI

Monitor memory usage

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
  const used = process.memoryUsage();
  console.log('Memory:', {
    heapUsed: Math.round(used.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024) + 'MB',
    heapTotal: Math.round(used.heapTotal / 1024 / 1024) + 'MB'
  });
  // ...
};

FAQ

What are 'serverless applications'?

These are applications that run on the cloud without you needing to worry about managing physical or virtual servers. The cloud platform itself handles that for you.

What is AWS Lambda?

It's an Amazon service that lets you run your code in response to events, without needing to provision or manage servers. You only pay for the compute time you use.

What is API Gateway?

It's a service that helps create, publish, maintain, and secure APIs (interfaces for different software to communicate) at any scale. It's often used with Lambda.
