Documentation nit: Serverless functions

A question I kinda wanted https://redwoodjs.com/docs/serverless-functions to answer: Why do the generated files from the serverless generator seem to tie to aws?

( I think I know the answer is that in general aws-lambda’s API style must be the default for many other cloud providers but it wasn’t on vercel + next’s nor azure’s which I at least have some experience with. Figured the docs would have the answer there. )

Related, perhaps yarn rw g functions can check for @types/aws-lambda in node_modules and recommend it when in TypeScript mode? The IDE doesn’t show errors that it’s missing (it just any’d) and installing aws-lambda doesn’t include those types (because it’s a different module). Ideally Redwood could inline the APIGatewayEvent types into @redwoodjs/api/webhooks instead then use those.

Are you thinking that if you yarn rw setup deploy that it might also run yarn rw setup template function --vercel or something similar, so that any future functions you generate will use a template customized for that host?

That’s an interesting thought. 🤔

It does! yarn rw setup generator function will give you the template and can change up whatever you want. Are you thinking that if you yarn rw setup deploy that it might also run yarn rw setup template function --vercel or something similar, so that any future functions you generate will use a template customized for that host?

It doesn’t currently have the ability to pass flags and select from other templates, but I don’t see why it couldn’t…
