Why
The reason why I created this package, is that because sometimes it is difficult to unify a lambda environment with a usual server where most of the people are comfortable with.
Most of the times we create a local server inside the lambda.
This middleware wants to mimic the same behaviour without creating a local server. The middleware creates two objects
called response and request and will try to mimic as much as possible the behaviours of
http.IncomingMessage andhttp.ServerResponse.
Where
This middleware can be used in advanced frontend cases where you want to store your pages on a lambda, and you'd need a
request and response objects to feed to your frontend frameworks such as Next.js or Nuxt.js.
