plugin serverless-webpack: optimize pacakge size with webpack
plugin serverless-kms-secrets: ease handling of KMS encrypted secrets
plugin serverless-plugin-custom-roles: enable setting roles on a per function basis
plugin serverless-plugin-split-stacks: Split Cloudformation stack to multiple stacks to overcome the 200 resource limit
file serverless.yml.json: Register plugins above
file webpack.config.js: Settings for webpack-plugin
file templates/function.ejs: Template to use for new functions

Creating new project

With Serverless Framework v1.5 and later, a new project based on the project template is initialized with the command

> sls install -u https://github.com/nordcloud/serverless-boilerplate -n myservicename
> cd myservicename
> npm install

Test vulnerabilities with

> npm audit

(NSP is no longer available)

You can compare your project setup (dependencies, devdependencies, scripts) with the boilerplate using the command

> npm run compare-boilerplate

The script reports only for items that are in the boilerplate and differ from your current project.
