Apex


Apex is yet another serverless framework that is built on the Go to manage AWS Lambda functions. It is an open source framework and uses Terraform for bootstrapping the resources, which makes it faster to execute. The features provided by the frameworks are the ability to deploy, test functions, roll back deployment, view metrics, and tail logs.

Although it does not support invoking the function locally, it does support multiple languages, such as Node.js, Python, Java, Rust, and Go. We can create various environments through Apex. It has good documentation and helps you to quickly get started with using the frameworks. However, Apex currently only supports AWS Lambda.
