The serverless framework relies on AWS Lambda and supports a variety of development languages such as Python, Java, and NodeJS. To this particular project, we found NodeJS being the best solution, due to its special requirements regarding fast time to market. Moreover, we believe NodeJS and Python being first citizens in the Serverless world, thanks to their inner flexibility. This code is written using ES5 and plain Javascript with a bit of Promise flavor, provided by Bluebird. The reason for this choice (instead of ES6) is related to the support Lambda is currently providing that is NodeJS 4.3.2. We do not believe that using transpillers (such as Babel) is a good idea in an environment where you do not have access to the file system (and cannot debug remote code directly). Call this a conservative move, but we think the risk is not worth the game.
