Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The first thing to note is that we must define runtime: nodejs8.10 in the serverless.yml file."

A block of code is set as follows:

module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
  console.log('event: %j', event);
  console.log('env: %j', process.env);
  
  callback(null, 'success');
};

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

service: cncb-create-function
...
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ npm run dp:lcl -- -s $MY_STAGE

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select Monitors | New Monitor | Event"
