serverless-http

Description

Examples

Please check the examples folder!

Usage example using the Koa framework

const serverless = require('serverless-http');
const Koa = require('koa'); // or any supported framework

const app = new Koa();

app.use(/* register your middleware as normal */);

// this is it!
module.exports.handler = serverless(app);

// or as a promise
const handler = serverless(app);
module.exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
  // you can do other things here
  const result = await handler(event, context);
  // and here
  return result;
};

Usage example using the Express framework with Azure


const serverless = require('serverless-http');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.use(/* register your middleware as normal */);

const handler = serverless(app, { provider: 'azure' });
module.exports.funcName = async (context, req) => {
  context.res = await handler(context, req);
}

Limitations

Your code is running in a serverless environment. You cannot rely on your server being 'up' in the sense that you can/should not use in-memory sessions, web sockets, etc. You are also subject to provider specific restrictions on request/response size, duration, etc.

Think of this as a familiar way of expressing your app logic, not trying to make serverless do something it cannot.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! Especially test scenarios for different situations and configurations.
