How to fetch existing lambda function from aws to local system using serverless or any other options?

Question

I am using AWS lambda and for the first couple of weeks I created lambda function using AWS console, but after some time I found Serverless. So I set up Serverless on my local system and now whenever I need to create any lambda function, I use Serverless and deploy.

My question is how can I get the previous lambda functions which I have created using AWS console. Is it possible to fetch existing function using Serverless or any alternative solution?

Please suggest.

Thanks Biswajit

You can export that from AWS Console either as a SAM File or Deployment package as follows

Login to AWS Console -> Navigate to Lambda home page -> Select the Lambda that you want locally -> Click Actions -> Select 'Export Function'

As well you can use get-function via AWS CLI
