To make serverless application development easier, Serverless Devs 2.0 is newly released

​
On October 23, 2020, Alibaba officially announced the open source of its first Serverless developer platform, Serverless Devs. After nearly a year of careful polishing, today the official version of Serverless Devs 2.0 is newly released. Serverless Devs 2.0 has improved platform capabilities, application templates, and developer kits, and is closer to the actual production requirements of developers, and the user experience is further improved, allowing developers to play with Serverless like using a mobile phone and quickly enjoy the dividends of Serverless technology.

This is Serverless Devs

Serverless Devs is an open source and open serverless developer platform. Serverless Devs is also the industry's first cloud-native full lifecycle management platform that supports mainstream serverless services/frameworks. It is committed to creating a one-stop service for serverless application development for developers to help solve The current difficulty of the tool chain allows developers to experience multi-cloud products with one click and deploy Serverless projects at a rapid pace.
​
Serverless Devs is composed of "two ends and one center system":​

• Serverless Devs CLI (command line client), suitable for geek developers, small and light, easy to integrate
• Serverless Desktop (desktop client), has a wider range of applicability, has a full range of application management capabilities such as development, construction, deployment, debugging, observability, etc.
• Serverless Hub Application Center , which provides the collection, distribution and distribution of applications, as a public service for developers or contributors.

All-round ability improvement, experience upgrade

1. Platform capacity improvement

New Desktop Client Serverless Desktop

Serverless Devs 2.0 has a fine design of the desktop client. Compared with 1.0, 2.0 has more enterprise-level service capabilities:

• Redesign the interactive process, using a new visual system b-design . More aesthetic and pragmatic;
• It has enterprise-level application lifecycle management capabilities, from development, construction, deployment, end-cloud debugging, stress testing to observability.

More efficient command line client Serverless CLI

The command line client and core components are @vercel/ncc , and the first use experience of the component is reduced from 5 minutes to less than 30 seconds. In addition, component versions are updated silently, and users will not cache multiple versions locally. Users don't feel the upgrade, the memory of this machine is reduced by more than 2/3 compared with version 1.0.
​
cli added non-configuration execution instruction 0613b33bb8a264, which is completely separated from yaml for component execution. The cli command is used to improve the following scenario capabilities:

• It is easier to integrate with automated processes, such as the gitops process;
• Integrate more resource management related capabilities, such as viewing Alibaba Cloud Function Computing's service list, function list, trigger list, custom domain name list, etc.;
• It's easier to manage permissions. In the enterprise-level development process, you can use atomic interfaces to manage resource permissions.

New configuration specification

The configuration file is the soul part of ServerlessDevs application, and it is also the part that developers deal with most frequently in daily work. The design of configuration specification directly affects the development experience of Serverless application. The new design of Serverless Devs 2.0 configuration specification:

• More scalability: By introducing global configurations, such as name , access etc., resource management in the 1.0 era can be formally upgraded to the application management dimension, and it has certain scalability, including the ability to add stage for environmental management configuration such as 0613b33bb8a388 globally Wait;
• Easier to learn: The new Yaml specification of Serverless Devs 2.0 is partially aligned with the existing tool specification standards to a certain extent, which can greatly reduce the learning difficulty of developers and make it easier to apply.

New data source design

The Registry concept proposed by Serverless Devs 2.0 supports GitHub, Gitee and official sources at the same time. Compared with traditional data sources, they are completely under official control. The open source design of Registry allows users to choose suitable data warehousing by themselves, and build their own applications using Serverless Devs specifications. Center, manage your own applications and components.

2. Application template enhancement

If the application template of Serverless Devs 1.0 is based on traditional web frameworks. Serverless Devs2.0 application templates are more focused on modern serverless applications. We provide platform-specific JAMStack application template and Serverless version SSR application template .
