Still Maintained?

[james-ingold]

Hello,

I saw that greenkeeper was turned off for this repository. Do you use a different scaffolding library for your projects now? Do you need help with maintenance?

Thanks,
James

Hello James,

I'm not using a different scaffolding library, in fact I'm not using any library since I don't have an AWS Lambda project at the moment. I turned off Greenkeeper because it often submitted broken PRs that failed on CI and I had to spend tons of time fixing those and waiting for the successful build (mostly on AppVeyor) most of the time with minimal benefits.

After reading your question I was thinking about my options and decided to temporary suspend the maintenance of this project and just now I added a statement about this to the top of the README. Since I'm not working with AWS Lambda now I cannot closely follow the evolution of the platform and validate that this sample is still working and useful. In fact the sample is already a bit outdated since promises are already available for Lambdas for a while and provide a much better coding pattern with async-await than callbacks.

I still believe that this sample has value and I am planning to update it for my next Lambda project.

Thanks for understanding.
György

This is a fantastic project and I hope it continues to get love.

Note that to run it on latest AWS, the node version in the serverless.yml needs to be updated to runtime: nodejs10.x.

Also adding async/await is pretty trivial; you can just change gateway methods to look like:
public getCity = async (event: ApiEvent, context: ApiContext): Promise<APIGatewayProxyResult> => {}
and then just return a ResponseBuilder

Thanks for the response @balassy. Definitely understand where you're coming from and appreciate you updating the readme.
@pointtoken Agreed, this is a great project.
I would be open to helping it stay maintained. A couple of things I have on my list => adding async/await, updating the node version, and upgrading tslint to eslint. I'll try to make some prs when I can to help keep it up to date.
