A GitHub Action to deploy Serverless applications to AWS using Serverless Framework.
What is Serverless GitHub Action?
This GitHub Action wraps the Serverless Framework to enable deploying your serverless applications using GitHub workflows. It supports AWS credentials for direct deployment and can work with serverless plugins.
How to Specify the Node.js Version
To set the Node.js version in your workflow, use the setup-node action.
with:
node-version: 18.x
How to Deploy with Serverless
To deploy your application using Serverless, provide the necessary args for the Serverless command. For deployment, you can use the following setup:
with:
args: deploy

SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.SERVERLESS_ACCESS_KEY }}
If you're using AWS credentials directly, you can specify them in the env section.
env:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
How to Use Serverless Plugins
If you need to install a Serverless plugin before deployment, you can modify your workflow like this:
with:
args: -c "serverless plugin install --name <plugin-name> && serverless deploy"
entrypoint: /bin/sh
How to Fix "This command can only be run in a Serverless service directory" Error
