Architect – A Serverless Framework
DISCLAIMER: I&#x27;ve contributed a few times to the Serverless framework.<p>I like some things about Architect, but there are things that just don&#x27;t make sense:<p>- Integrations with Slack but no way to define custom CFN resources<p>- No authentication support<p>- Custom file format (3)<p>- Not being able to set CORS in this custom file format (4)<p>- Magical vendor folders (5)<p>I am sorry for the negativity, but brianleroux has posted in this thread several times claiming his framework saves 700-line CloudFormation templates. What I don&#x27;t see is him comparing snippets with say, the Serverless framework(1), or AWS SAM(2). He seems to portray the choices as either his pet-framework-of-the-month or plain old CloudFormation, and that&#x27;s just not true. That&#x27;s not to say Serverless or AWS SAM are perfect (they most certainly have their warts), but they are both arguably more mature and have larger communities behind them.<p>(1) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;serverless.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;serverless.com</a><p>(2) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;awslabs&#x2F;serverless-application-model" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;awslabs&#x2F;serverless-application-model</a><p>(3) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;quickstart&#x2F;arc-project-layout" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;quickstart&#x2F;arc-project-layout</a><p>(4) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;guides&#x2F;cors" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;guides&#x2F;cors</a><p>(5) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;guides&#x2F;sharing-common-code" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arc.codes&#x2F;guides&#x2F;sharing-common-code</a>
