Introduction

Use this template to get started quickly with Less. It has examples of all of the resources you can create already configured.

• REST API: REST API with GET and POST methods.
• Web Socket: Socket that publishes connection info to a topic.
• CRON job: Use Shared module to create messages periodically.
• Publisher/Subscriber: Send messages to newly connected socket clients.
• Shared module: Create messages.

Less is a framework that radically reduces software development costs, complexity, and time to develop. Simply write your code and deploy.

Less will deploy your project to AWS giving you distributed, infinitely scalable, event-driven, realtime, and fault tolerant systems without you ever having to deal with cloud providers, infrastructure, containers, or DevOps.

What's crazy is that this is all done in ~75 lines of code!
