Using the serverless framework, is it possible to have functions call each other locally? Similar to SAM's sam local start-lambda?

Question

I'm using serverless with AWS. I want to be able to test lambda functions calling other lambda functions locally. I noticed that there is a way to do this with the aws SAM tool (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-cli-command-reference-sam-local-start-lambda.html). Is there a way to do this with the serverless framework?

If not out of the box, would it be simple to implement? Does serverless invoke local use SAM under the hood?

Answer 1

I didn't try it by myself but I found that there is a serverless plugin for it:

serverless-offline-direct-lambda.

Sounds like you may give it a try.
