Add template that uses the Serverless framework for deployment

[jankoenig]

Including creating the right permissions, lambda, and DynamoDB for e.g. AWS

Hi @jankoenig i'm interested to pick up this issue

[jankoenig]

Cool! Let me know if you need more info. I started playing with it a few months ago. Here's part of the serverless.yml (I commented out some things and am not sure if everything works):

service: jovo-project-name  # Update

custom:
  defaultStage: dev
  currentStage: ${opt:stage, self:custom.defaultStage}

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10
  stage: ${self:custom.currentStage}
  # iamRoleStatements:
  #   - Effect: "Allow"
  #     Action:
  #     - dynamodb: GetItem
  #     - dynamodb: PutItem
  #     - dynamodb: CreateTable
  #     Resource: "arn:aws:dynamodb:*:*:table/*"

# Define service wide environment variables here
# environment:
#   STAGE: ${self:custom.currentStage}

package:
 include:
   - index.js
   - app/**
 exclude:
   - platforms/**
   - models/**

functions:
  app:
    handler: index.handler
    events:
      # - alexaSkill: ${file(./app.json):stages.${self:custom.currentStage}.alexaSkill.skillId}

      # API Gateway
      # - http:
      #     method: post

    # Define function environment variables here
    environment:
      STAGE: ${self:custom.currentStage}

Thanks @jankoenig i was looking at how to setup the example projects in my free time within the past few days. It seems like the setup is not as straightforward as i thought, i might need some time to get some template files working with my own AWS account (need to get some free time to do so). If anyone with experience with this framework would like to go ahead and implement this ahead of me then i would encourage them to do so instead

This is a really interesting proposal. Has any progress been made on this? I'd definitely be happy to contribute.

No one has contributed yet, but I know that a few people are using Serverless for Jovo projects. e.g. @dominik-meissner
