问题
I have a general question about developing serverless applications and AWS AppSync in particular. We're thinking about going serverless for a small project and I'm wondering how people generally set up their development environment when creating a "serverless" application.
I've seen that the serverless framework provides some capabilities to run lambda's locally, but as far as I can see, the available appsync-plugin does not provide full "offline"-functionality for AppSync.
I'm curious to know how other teams do serverless development? Does everybody have their own AWS-side setup? Just a general development-instance of everything? I'm grateful for any opinion and input!
回答1:
In our setup, everyone can have get their own personal serverless stage for developing their API. I'm interested in trying to run development offline but didn't get to that yet.
When we push to master, our CodePipeline will start building to our integration test stage. By default, our services (our app is split to many subdomains) are configured to use the integration test API. That API should be relatively stable for development. We can switch to the personal API when developing API.
We use common DynamoDB tables, streams and Elasticsearch instances for all development stages. DynamoDB tables and indexes are deployed with serverless in development side and in production side they are maintained manually.
Our production and beta stages are in a separate AWS account.

Serverless is one way to do it. SAM Local is also another option, with the SAM CLI. I've used it with some success although it wasn't quite as straightforward as I would have liked. Seems like the development environments are a bit new for serverless.

This may have been updated since this was asked but serverless-appsync-plugin now states:
You can use serverless-appsync-offline to autostart an AppSync Emulator which depends on Serverless-AppSync-Plugin with DynamoDB and Lambda resolver support
Which I believe is what you are looking for.
