Thomas Nixon: 我是Baseline的技术联合创始人，拥有软件开发的丰富经验，从承包商到咨询顾问都做过。Baseline是一个最近开源的框架，旨在帮助并促进无服务器社区的发展，并推动无服务器技术的进步。我们希望通过Baseline，解决无服务器技术采用过程中遇到的许多挑战，例如环境设置、工具选择、代码部署以及成本控制等。在过去的六年里，我们积累了丰富的经验，并将其融入到Baseline中，使它成为一个开箱即用的解决方案。我们希望开发者能够轻松上手，并能够快速构建可靠的无服务器应用程序。我们采用了Lambda和DynamoDB的组合，构建类似单体架构的JSON API，并基于实体的复合架构来减少冷启动，缩小包大小并提高可靠性。我们还提供了开箱即用的身份验证和中间件，以及CloudFront和S3的集成，以简化静态网站的部署。我们使用PNPM和ESBuild来提高开发效率，并使用serverless framework和serverless offline plugin来支持本地开发。我们还提供了一种简便的方法来管理环境变量，并尽可能地减少开发者与AWS控制台的交互。我们希望Baseline能够成为一个低风险的方式，帮助企业进行云现代化转型。 Jan: 在与Thomas的对话中，我了解到Baseline框架旨在简化无服务器应用的开发和部署流程。它提供开箱即用的功能，例如身份验证和数据库集成，并允许开发者使用熟悉的Express.js风格的代码来构建函数。同时，Baseline也解决了无服务器开发中的一些常见问题，例如冷启动和环境配置。与Amplify相比，Baseline最大的优势在于它完全开源，开发者可以完全控制代码和基础设施。这使得Baseline更加灵活和可定制，也更容易进行调试和维护。然而，Baseline也有一些局限性，例如目前尚未内置测试功能，以及对本地模拟的局限性。尽管如此，Baseline仍然是一个很有前景的无服务器开发框架，它有潜力降低无服务器技术的入门门槛，并帮助开发者更高效地构建应用。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Thomas Nixon, CTO of Baseline, discusses the challenges of serverless adoption and introduces Baseline.js, a new framework designed to simplify serverless development. He highlights common patterns in successful and unsuccessful serverless projects, emphasizing the importance of reliable deployments and a clear understanding of the serverless ecosystem.
  • Baseline.js is an open-source framework designed to simplify serverless development.
  • Common challenges in serverless adoption include connecting to databases, scaling, environment variables, and local development.
  • Baseline.js aims to provide a baseline project structure and tooling to address these challenges.
  • The framework incorporates learnings from six years of serverless development experience.
