# serverless.tf

This is an **experiment**.

Inspired by [Serverless Components](https://github.com/serverless/components), but uses [Terraform](https://terraform.io) for provisioning.

Note: (so far it's only Terraform modules, maybe will include in the future custom Terraform plugins to handle specific tasks, like local simulation or packaging)

## Why

Using Serverless Framework, if you need something more sofisticated like DynamoDB tables or Route 53 domains, you need to use [Resources](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/resources/), that is just CloudFormation templates with all that verbosity.

## Advantages

- does not need Node.js, nor focus on Node.js functions/apps as first-class citizens: bring your own stack;

- support more than AWS, with the same "interface" (module + variables or custom modules). See [examples](./examples/); Many kinds of resources from different providers are supported;

- just one syntax to learn, reuse it when defining "components" (optinionated modules) or custom [resources](https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/dependencies.html#assigning-an-elastic-ip);

- built-in support for stages: See [workspaces](https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/workspaces.html);

- plan and understand each change with `terraform plan` and deploy with `terraform apply` (always incremental deployments);

- support for pretty much everything Terraform supports, including extending resources or custom provisioning through [terraform plugins](https://www.terraform.io/docs/plugins/index.html) (tech-specific packaging included).

## Disvantages

- no boilerplate or generators (yet);

- no support for simulation locally or remotely (not missing serverless components);

- no support for log tailing or metrics viewing;

## Comparison with serverless framework cli

|    serverless cli    |        terraform        |

| -------------------- | ----------------------- |

| create               | -                       |

| deploy               | apply                   |

| deploy function      | apply ¹                 |

| deploy list          | show ²                  |

| deploy list function | show ²                  |

| info                 | show ²                  |

| install              | get                     |

| invoke               | -                       |

| invoke local         | -                       |

| logs                 | -                       |

| metrics              | -                       |

| package              | plan                    |

| plugin...            | init                    |

| remove               | edit + plan + apply     |

| rollback             | checkout + plan + apply |

| rollback function    | checkout + plan + apply |

¹ Already incremental deploy

² Very verbose
