SAM.md

Hi Chris + Ajay,

Just wanted to share 3 quick reasons why I still don’t use SAM and why it’s not a self-contained solution (for me).

  1. Unable to embed my code directly in the template.

CloudFormation Example:

HitWebHookFunction:
  Type: AWS::Lambda::Function
  Properties:
    Handler: lambda_function.lambda_handler
    Code:
      ZipFile: !Sub | CODE GOES RIGHT HERE

SAM Example:

HitWebHookFunction:
  Type: AWS::Serverless:Function
  Properties:
    CodeURI: LINK TO S3 BUCKET GOES HERE

The key issues with the SAM approach are that I have to now have separate s3 buckets and separate deployments for every region I want this template to run in. It makes a simple task much harder.
