Question 1

How do I deploy a Node.js app to AWS Lambda with Claudia.js?

Accepted Answer

Install Claudia.js via npm, set up AWS credentials, and use the 'claudia create' command. The README links to a getting started guide with a hello-world example that can be done in under 5 minutes.

Question 2

Claudia.js vs Serverless Framework: which is better for AWS?

Accepted Answer

Claudia.js is simpler and more focused on AWS Lambda with Node.js, automating configuration with defaults. Serverless Framework supports multiple clouds and languages but has a steeper learning curve. Choose Claudia for quick, AWS-centric deployments; Serverless for broader flexibility.

Question 3

Can I use Claudia.js with TypeScript projects?

Accepted Answer

Claudia.js primarily targets plain JavaScript, so you need to transpile TypeScript to JavaScript before deployment. There's no built-in TypeScript support, requiring additional build steps in your workflow.

Question 4

How to handle environment variables in Claudia.js deployments?

Accepted Answer

You can set environment variables using command-line options or configuration files during deployment. Refer to the customising deployments guide in the README for specific instructions on managing variables.

Question 5

What AWS triggers does Claudia.js support besides API Gateway?

Accepted Answer

Claudia.js focuses on API Gateway and Lambda, but it can handle other AWS event sources through manual configuration or builder projects like Claudia Bot Builder. For complex triggers, you might need to extend beyond its defaults.

Question 6

How to update an existing Lambda function deployed with Claudia.js?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'claudia update' command to push changes to an existing Lambda function. This automates packaging and deployment, similar to the initial setup, ensuring a consistent workflow.
