Ask HN: Could you share your serverless starter repository?
I think that serverless can be a huge time saver and be quite inexpensive when done right.
However, I find it hard to setup in a "simple" and maintainable fashion.
There are a lot of cloud-agnostic solutions out there: Terraform, Serverless.com, Pulumi, etc...
But also, for a given cloud provider, let's say AWS, you have: CDK, SAM, CloudFormation, etc...
Of course there are examples everywhere on the internet, but I feel that the HN community might have some interesting repositories to share, used to kickstart a startup, for freelancing / indie hacking or even for side projects.
Do not hesitate to also share the volume / number of users you handled with your stack, and how much it cost you.
Note 1:
I tried to check if this post was a duplicate by searching for 'site:news.ycombinator.com "serverless" starter' (and other variants) and found "The ultimate SaaS template", which is kind of what I was looking for, but with more things out of the box that just serverless related stuff.
Note 2:
I'm personally looking to replicate a setup that a startup I worked at was using on AWS (AppSync, API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito, DynamoDB, etc...), but they used Serverless.com and the yml files were huge and full of duplicates (not a problem per se, but there might be a better, more concise way).
