Serverless Framework Node with Typescript HTTP API on AWS

Note: TypeScript is intentionally held at 5.x — the TypeScript 7 native compiler isn't yet supported by the surrounding ecosystem tooling (checked 2026-07-20).

This template demonstrates how to make a simple HTTP API with Node.js and Typescript running on AWS Lambda and API Gateway using the Serverless Framework v4.

This template does not include any kind of persistence (database). For more advanced examples, check out the serverless/examples repository which includes Typescript, Mongo, DynamoDB and other examples.
