Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "In the statement, we pass the parameter to the CLI and the stage value is populated in the serverless.yml file."

A block of code is set as follows:

# serverless.yml
service: myService
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  memorySize: 512 # will be inherited by all functions

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ pip install zappa

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click on Users on the left-hand sidebar, then click on the Add User button and add the username adm-serverless."
