And we are still waiting on decent frameworks for this method of writing serverless services. I have 2 projects running like this with a cobbled together group of utils/helpers to make life easier. No routing layer or anything, that’s the job of SST/CDK/SF/etc, but things like a handler wrapper to handle errors uniformly, and other tools I regularly need (permissions checking, payload validation, etc).
I know some of that work can be done at the API Gateway/Lambda layer before it hits my function but I’ve yet to go down that rabbit hole, it always felt too limiting/rigid, I could and do move way faster in JS (TS).
I feel like we are on the cusp of it getting so much nicer and I have a blast working in this space. I absolutely love knowing my backend will “auto-scale” to whatever I need all the way down to $0 and even on the high end (at my scale) well under $10. My projects are for events (think festivals or “food week”) and so they are extremely bursty. They go months at a time with little to no traffic so “Serverless” and managed services that scale to $0 or near $0 are awesome for my needs.
