Overview and basic usage

Runs the compute resource in a development mode

• Dev mode can be used to develop and debug your applications or to run integration tests.
• The development mode does the following:
• For container workloads:
  • All of the container ports specified in the events section will be mapped to the host.
  • Container's environment variables referenced by $ResourceParam and $Secret directives are automatically downloaded and injected to the workload.
  • Temporary credentials of the container's assumed role are injected to the workload. This means that your locally running container will have the exact same IAM permissions as the deployed version.
  • The local emulation requires a deployed stack. Use the --disableEmulation flag if you want to locally run a workload that has not yet been deployed (without emulation).
  • Logs from the container are continuously pretty-printed to the console.
  • You must specify the name of the container to run using the --container option.
• For lambda functions:
  • The lambda function is quickly and efficiently re-deployed without using Cloudformation.
  • Logs of the lambda function are automatically download from Cloudwatch and continuously pretty-printed to the console
  • No emulation is required as the lambda function runs in the exact same environment as in the production
• The compute resource is re-built and restarted/re-deployed, when you either:
  • use the --watch flag and one of your source code files changes
  • type rs + enter to the terminal
