Architect 7.0 (Chupacabra)

Hello again! We hope OpenJSF Architect 7.0 – built around AWS HTTP APIs, and featuring better support for all modern JS test harnesses – will help more people build better, open, lock-in-free web apps for a better internet. AMA!

@ryan This looks like the simplest serverless framework I've seen. But how does it prevent lock-in when it only work on AWS? I assume because the code you write for it is mostly generic?

@ryan @garett_dunn1 code is generic tho at this time no ports to other clouds have been made official. In our view AWS is the defacto standard anyhow and it is likely the serverless primitives we have in AWS will eventually be capabilities available elsewhere but to claim that today, as some frameworks do, is disingenuous.

@garett_dunn1 also depends on your definition of lock-in. If you write software to run on Linux but decide you want to port your app to Windows, you're going to have to reauthor – cloud is the same. At least in this case, Architect generates real AWS CloudFormation – you can stop using Architect at any time and continue shipping your app to production. Unlike other serverless frameworks, there are no proprietary abstractions.
