What is Squeezer ?

Squeezer is a framework designed to help developers to get a better architecture on serverless zero-administration compute platforms where code runs on the top of microservices clouds like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , IBM OpenWhisk & Google Functions

Features in short

• Swagger UI API REST documentation support
• SEO-friendly web apps with the PUG support ( formerly known as JADE ) + your favorite JS framework + CDN integrated support for project's assets (js, images, css, ...)
• share components between microservices
• auto-deployable, auto-scalable , no DevOps requirements
• silent deployments ,no interruption for the current functionality ( really useful on production )
• access deployed resources credentials (DB user, pass ...) directly from process.env variables
• one single command to simultaneously deploy all available microservices on your project
• quick intuitive code deployments by using a special mechanism which will deploy only assets, functions and file packages where code changed from the last deployment
• automatic rollback to the previous working deployment if something goes wrong
• sequential deployments, wait for the current deployments in progress to finish
• self-healing microservices
• test your code locally on a simulated microservices platform for a faster development cycle
• separate your environments in multiple stages
• extend framework functionality with your own "home-made" plugins
• pay only for the usage ( no monthly subscriptions )
• competitive pricing ( >= 2$ / 1 million HTTP requests )
• smart external dependencies inclusion into the compiled microservice ( node_modules and other project files ) ... just like on any other trivial NodeJS project
• Babel ES6/ES7 + Webpack 2 integration

Requirements

• Install node.js version >=6
