Quickstart

To create a new serverless Flask application really quickly:

1. Install pipenv and AWS SAM local and generate app boilerplate:

pip install aws-sam-cli pipenv
sam init --location https://github.com/aws-samples/cookiecutter-aws-sam-python

2. Add flask_serverless dependency

cd MyApp
make install
pipenv install flask_serverless

3. Replace first_function/app.py contents with:

from flask_serverless import Serverless, Flask, APIGWProxy

app = Flask(__name__)
Serverless(app)
lambda_handler = APIGWProxy(app)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return "Hello, friend!"

4. You're ready to go! Run make run. Read the README it spits out.
