Serverless Framework integration

[MattiaVerticchio]

Hi @choonkeat and thanks for developing elm-webapp, it’s awesome to see something like Lamdera open-sourced!

I’d like to contribute with a suggestion about the deployment process. It could be interesting to support the Serverless Framework for deployment since it already supports different cloud providers:

• AWS
• Azure
• Tencent
• Google
• Knative
• Alibaba Cloud
• Cloudflare Workers
• Fn
• Kubeless
• OpenWhisk
• Spotinst

and supports offline development. It would also ease elm-webapp development by delegating the boilerplate code to an already established framework.

It already exists the-sett/elm-serverless that uses this tool, but I don’t think it’s actively maintained anymore and it doesn’t offer an end-to-end experience as elm-webapp does.

I hope this is helpful!

supporting deployment targets will be great but I'm very concern about dependencies upgrade rat race.

perhaps it can be done in separate repos, or various instructions.md files? wdyt?

[MattiaVerticchio]

Yes, I agree with you about dependencies management issues.

I think the best way would be to have a simple index.js and then instructions about deployment that could fit different use cases.

Could that be feasible?

Hi @MattiaVerticchio,
how is it possible to deploy it to Cloudflare Workers? I'm very interested in doing that.

And @choonkeat: Thanks for the development of elm-webapp from my side, too! Fantastic and very helpful!
