Installation | Blogs | Videos | AWS Docs | Roadmap | Try It Out | Slack Us
The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is an open-source CLI tool that helps you develop serverless applications containing Lambda functions, Step Functions, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, SNS and more. Some of the features it provides are:
- Initialize serverless applications in minutes with AWS-provided infrastructure templates with
sam init - Compile, build, and package Lambda functions with provided runtimes and with custom Makefile workflows, for zip and image types of Lambda functions with
sam build - Locally test a Lambda function and API Gateway easily in a Docker container with
sam localcommands on SAM and CDK applications - Sync and test your changes in the cloud with
sam syncin your developer environments - Deploy your SAM and CloudFormation templates using
sam deploy - Quickly create pipelines with prebuilt templates with popular CI/CD systems using
sam pipeline init - Tail CloudWatch logs and X-Ray traces with
sam logsandsam traces

What is this Github repository? 💻
This Github repository contains source code for SAM CLI. Here is the development team talking about this code:
SAM CLI code is written in Python. Source code is well documented, very modular, with 95% unit test coverage. It uses this awesome Python library called Click to manage the command line interaction and uses Docker to run Lambda functions locally. We think you'll like the code base. Clone it and run
make pror./Make -pron Windows!
