A plugin for the Serverless framework to deploy the static assets into a separate deployment bucket.

This ensures that that the lambda isn't invoked for serving assets which in turn reduces the costs and improves performace.

[!NOTE] This plugin has only been tested with the AWS provider and will not work if you are deploying to other providers e.g. GCP.

Installation

Install using NPM by using the following command

npm install --save-dev @mridang/serverless-servestatic-plugin

And then add the plugin to your serverless.yml file:

plugins:
  - @mridang/serverless-servestatic-plugin

A thorough guide on installing plugins can be found at https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs-guides-plugins

Usage

Configuration

The configuration of the plugin is done by defining a custom servestatic object in your serverless.yml with your specific configuration.

All settings are optional and will be set to reasonable defaults if missing.

See the sections below for detailed descriptions of the settings.

custom:
  servestatic:
    include:
      - 'public/**/*' # The list of assets to be included
    exclude:
      - '**/' # The list of assets to be excluded
    public: false # A boolean indicating whether thr S3 bucket is public

If public is enabled, the assets in the bucket can be served directly from the bucket. Public acess can be disabled if you intend to front the bucket via CloudFront.

Using CloudFront

When you trigger a deployment, the custom resource will unpack all the assets that the match the glob patterns into the bucket that will be used for serving static assets.
