We tried about a year ago and gave up after too much wasted effort on getting any kind of a good dev/CI/CD pipeline going. Mainly due to lack of tooling. Things like environment variables, etc.

Taking another look now on some side projects, to get a sense of if all the of the issues have been addressed.

But the big ones were lack of env variables, and the tooling was atrocious.

I really like the concept, and the current serverless (serverless.com) framework has been simplified, runs based on cloud formation, and also allows the project to be run as an express server, and potentially with additional plugins on a competing serverless architecture.
