(The project is a simple url shortener using the new esbuild configurable builder to pack the whole html/css together with the lambda). I will put it in github later 😉

That’s really awesome to hear! I’m glad you’ve had a good experience. I’d love to see the project in action!

I am also doing my part. The url shortner is a personal project; in the company we are using CDK and we are of course not happy with the speed of local development (all our microservices are lambda based). Even though with esbuild the deployment is now around 1 minute, it’s still 1 minute to wait to test something 🙄

Oh wow. That's quite scary. Once we merge this PR (https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack/pull/82) CDK updates should become very quick. Now that I think about it, maybe we can just create a bot that'll open a PR when there's a new CDK or TS update.

@Jay https://github.com/claudioc/urlino I am not sure if I followed all the “best practices” (if any) in there though. Maybe the most interesting part is in https://github.com/claudioc/urlino/blob/main/src/index.ts

Awesome I’ll check it out today. Thanks for sharing!

@Jay yeah, I think

dotenv

could probably be part of sst directly because one way or another you need to pass some configuration parameters; I would even go as far as considering removing

sst.json

and just use a

.env

That’s a good point. We should also figure out how to easily add that to the Lambda functions.
