How to Easily Setup Serverless in Minutes - A Step-by-Step Guide

Serverless computing is becoming increasingly popular as a way to quickly and easily deploy applications without the need to manage physical servers. This post will walk you through the steps of setting up serverless in minutes and get your application up and running.

Step 1: Install the Serverless Framework

The first step is to install the Serverless Framework. This can be done easily with a few commands in the terminal.

MacOS and Linux:

curl -o- -L https://slss.io/install | bash

Windows:

npm install -g serverless

Step 2: Create a Serverless Service

Once the Serverless Framework is installed, you can create a new serverless service by running the following command:

serverless create --template [template] --name [name]

Where [template] is the type of service you want to create (e.g. aws-nodejs) and [name] is the name of your service.

Step 3: Configure Your Service

Once the service is created, you can configure it by editing the serverless.yml file. This file contains all the settings for your service, such as the name, the provider, the runtime, and the functions.

Step 4: Deploy Your Service

Once your service is configured, you can deploy it by running the following command:

serverless deploy

This will create all the necessary resources in the cloud and deploy your service.
