What is Squeezer ?
Squeezer is a framework designed to help developers to get a better architecture on serverless zero-administration compute platforms where code runs on the top of microservices clouds like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , IBM OpenWhisk & Google Functions
Features in short
- Swagger UI API REST documentation support
- SEO-friendly web apps with the PUG support ( formerly known as JADE ) + your favorite JS framework + CDN integrated support for project's assets (js, images, css, ...)
- share components between microservices
- auto-deployable, auto-scalable , no DevOps requirements
- silent deployments ,no interruption for the current functionality ( really useful on production )
- access deployed resources credentials (DB user, pass ...) directly from
process.envvariables - one single command to simultaneously deploy all available microservices on your project
- quick intuitive code deployments by using a special mechanism which will deploy only assets, functions and file packages where code changed from the last deployment
- automatic rollback to the previous working deployment if something goes wrong
- sequential deployments, wait for the current deployments in progress to finish
- self-healing microservices
- test your code locally on a simulated microservices platform for a faster development cycle
- separate your environments in multiple stages
- extend framework functionality with your own "home-made" plugins
- pay only for the usage ( no monthly subscriptions )
- competitive pricing ( >= 2$ / 1 million HTTP requests )
- smart external dependencies inclusion into the compiled microservice ( node_modules and other project files ) ... just like on any other trivial NodeJS project
- Babel ES6/ES7 + Webpack 2 integration
Requirements
- Install node.js version
>=6
