Using the AWS SAM CLI with Serverless.tf for local debugging and testing

The AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (AWS SAM CLI) can be used with Serverless.tf modules for local debugging and testing of your AWS Lambda functions and layers. The following AWS SAM CLI commands are supported:

  • sam build

  • sam local invoke

  • sam local start-api

  • sam local start-lambda

Note

Serverless.tf version 4.6.0 and newer supports AWS SAM CLI integration.

To begin using the AWS SAM CLI with your Serverless.tf modules, update to the latest version Serverless.tf and the AWS SAM CLI.

Starting from serverless.tf version 6.0.0, you must set the create_sam_metadata parameter as true. This generates the metadata resources that the AWS SAM CLI sam build command requires.

To learn more about Serverless.tf, see the terraform-aws-lambda-module.
