Does serverless framework supports Lambda canary deployment (Alias Traffic Shifting )?

Question

Does serverless framework support canary deployment by switching weights on Lambda alias (like SAM/CodeDeploy: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/implementing-canary-deployments-of-aws-lambda-functions-with-alias-traffic-shifting/)?

I will appreciate any response, Thanks

Answer 1

At the moment, Serverless Framework doesn't have the support for it. However it is also not difficult to implement the support, so hopefully it will come quite soon.

Answer 2

Right now? No, but AWS recently announced support for it:

• https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/aws-lambda-supports-traffic-shifting-and-phased-deployments-with-aws-codedeploy/
• https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/amazon-api-gateway-supports-canary-release-deployments/

If you want to see this feature in sls, create an issue and track its progress.
