Stackery Sign Up Information

Your serverless journey has already begun. You should know- YOU took the first step by signing up for Stackery.

If you haven''t already, you''ll need to grab the Stackery VS Code extension or the Stackery CLI to work locally with Stackery''s visual editor for your AWS stack''s infrastructure-as-code templates, local deploys to AWS, and more.

Working with your code locally with Stackery is free. When you want to commit or pull an existing stack from a git repository and centralize deployments for your team, upgrade to pro. 

Or, for all other IDEs...

Now you''re ready to start optimizing your serverless workflow and develop, manage, and deliver amazing applications!

Here''s what your new serverless workflow looks like:

1. Launch the Stackery VS Code plugin or Stackery CLI
2. Define your application architecture and configure resources.
3. Deploy that architecture to create your cloudside development environment. 

4. Develop and debug business logic function code locally against those live cloud services.
5. Package and deploy the application into a dev or test environment.
6. PR, promote, rinse and repeat!

(...in your language of choice!)

Stay tuned

We''ll reach out again in a few days with a helpful spotlight on initial benchmarks and tasks to complete that will supercharge your new and improved serverless development workflow.

Hi Oliver!

So far, you''ve:

??Signed up for Stackery

??Installed the VSCode Plugin or Stackery CLI 

?? Now what? 

When you''re part of a busy software delivery team, it can be challenging to find the time and focus to comb through a quickstart guide. 

The Stackery Quickstart Guide is already straightforward and digestible (as it should be) but we''ve pulled out the most important benchmarks for even more convenience.

Here''s how to begin using Stackery to develop, deliver, and manage serverless applications quickly with the confidence of a dedicated serverless team-that''s us!

Build/Configure Architecture for Your Dev Environment 

It''s time to create and deploy your serverless app! In this step, you''ll: 

• Create a stack via the VS Code plugin or Stackery CLI
• Add an API resource easily via Stackery''s drag-and-drop interface
• Add and configure a function (you''ll write it later)

Commit your changes to Git if you''re already on Stackery Pro plan. If not, save your template locally.

Link Your AWS Account

If you''ll be building amazing serverless apps with AWS Lambda and the growing menu of AWS databases, streams, storage, timers, API Gateways, and other components, you''ll need to link your AWS account.

Note that your AWS credentials are never transmitted to us! Permissions = minimal.

* If you skip this step now, you''ll have another chance to link your account when you deploy your first stack. 

Create a Lambda Function and API Endpoint

It''s time to work on your business logic and deploy your serverless app! In this step, you''ll:

• Write a Lambda function 
• Commit your changes to Git (If you''ve already gone PRO) or save them locally.

Deploy Your Serverless Application ??

Your stack is ready to be deployed with AWS CloudFormation!

Again, Stackery makes it easy. Sensing a theme? Once you review and execute your stack in your AWS Console, you can head over to the View tab to see your stack in action (stacktion?)!

Add/Save Your Projects

When it''s time to commit or work with stacks in a repo, that''s when you''ll want to upgrade to Stackery Pro. Thanks to our guided setup process, you''ll know exactly how and when to carry your projects over to Stackery. Or, skip for the time being and revisit when you need to add teammates or level up your architecture.

Hi Oliver,

This is a follow up from your recent request to set up a demonstration of the Stackery development and delivery toolchain.

Please use the scheduler button below to set up a convenient time for that demo session with me. 

Once scheduled, feel free to forward the meeting details along to anyone from your team that could benefit from asking questions live and learning more about all that Stackery can offer. 

In the meantime, let me know if you have any initial questions!

Features Overview

Hi, Oliver!

I wanted to send you a quick note to say I hope you''re enjoying Stackery so far.

The best part of my job is getting to hear from developers about their experience building serverless apps?, including wins and pain-points. 

Did you get stuck or were you successful in getting going? I''d love to know either way. If there''s anything I can do to help, shoot me a note back!

Best,
Chase

Hi Oliver,

At Stackery, we spend all week trying to make serverless development better. The best part of this for me is getting to interact with so many developers solving problems with a serverless approach. That''s why I''m getting in touch today - I''m interested in what you''re building, and I don''t want you to get stuck.

If you do get stuck (or you just aren''t sure what the next step should be) you can always email me directly with questions and I will try to get you an answer.

One of the things I like most is hearing the problems you want to solve, big and small, with a serverless approach. These conversations help me keep our engineering team focused on solving the biggest pain points in serverless development today.

In addition to emailing me, there are a variety of other options to get questions answered:

In App Chat
Our chat widget is staffed by an engineer on the team, not a bot. We''re happy to answer your question.

Stackery Documentation Site (docs.stackery.io)
Our docs site has a ton of great content and we''re adding to it constantly. Some of my current favorites are local development workflow (including the debugging of any Lambda function locally!), VS Code integration, and how to streamline your workflow with Stackery CLI configuration.

Shared Slack Channel
We''re happy to set your team up a with shared Slack channel for a bit. That way, you can work closely with our engineering team while you get up and running. This makes it really easy to get questions answered by engineers who know serverless.

I hope you''re enjoying Stackery and focusing on your workflow and the awesome things you''re building.  Don''t hesitate to drop me a note and let me know how it''s going.

Kind regards,
Chase Douglas
