Episode notes

Cloudflare has done a really good job at making this local thing called mini flair. It tries to replicate it but I still run into issues not just cloudflare alone. Your local environment does not look like your deployed environment. Sharing code not always easy so if you have six serverless functions and you have a bunch of like shared code between the two. The limit to environmental variables on an AWS Lambda is 4k which is 1024 characters. You might think oh that's quite a bit but sometimes you have these very long generated strings that need to be set as environmental variables in Netlify.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through some of the limitations of using serverless in your project.
