aws-serverless-deployment
AWS SAM and AWS CDK deployment for serverless applications. Triggers on phrases like: use SAM, SAM template, SAM init, SAM deploy, CDK serverless, CDK Lambda construct, NodejsFunction, PythonFunction, SAM and CDK together, serverless CI/CD pipeline. For general app deployment with service selection, use deploy-on-aws plugin instead.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# AWS Serverless Deployment Deploy serverless applications to AWS using SAM or CDK. This skill covers project scaffolding, IaC templates, CDK constructs and patterns, deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and SAM/CDK coexistence. For Lambda runtime behavior, event sources, orchestration, observability, and optimization, see the [aws-lambda skill](../aws-lambda/). ## When to Load Reference Files Load the appropriate reference file based on what the user is working on: - **SAM project setup**, **templates**, **deployment workflow**, **local testing**, or **container images** -> see [references/sam-project-setup.md](references/sam-project-setup.md) - **CDK project setup**, **constructs**, **CDK testing**, or **CDK pipelines** -> see [references/cdk-project-setup.md](references/cdk-project-setup.md) - **CDK Lambda constructs**, **NodejsFunction**, **PythonFunction**, or **CDK Function** -> see [references/cdk-lambda-constructs.md](references/cdk-lambda-constructs.md) - **CDK serverless patterns**, **API Gateway CDK**, **Function URL CDK**, **EventBridge CDK**, **DynamoDB CDK**, or **SQS CDK** -> see [references/cdk-serverless-patterns.md](references/cdk-serverless-patterns.md) - **SAM

What does the aws-serverless-deployment skill do?
AWS SAM and AWS CDK deployment for serverless applications. Triggers on phrases like: use SAM, SAM template, SAM init, SAM deploy, CDK serverless, CDK Lambda construct, NodejsFunction, PythonFunction, SAM and CDK together, serverless CI/CD pipeline. For general app deployment with service selection, use deploy-on-aws plugin instead.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add awslabs/agent-plugins --skill aws-serverless-deployment --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From awslabs/agent-plugins, a repository with 850 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
