CityJS-Workshop | Serverless tic tac toe AI using Node.js and

The following steps will get you up and running. Netlify is a super easy platform for building, deploying, and serving sweet modern web apps. It'll host a single page app statically and serve up the backend as serverless functions - super scalable, super cheap and super great. The netlify.toml file describes how the site should be deployed. The base directory is the starting point where netlify looks for a file that shows how your project is configured. i.e. a package.json. It will also install any dependencies for you. All files in the publish directory get deployed to netlifys CDN. All js files in the funcion directory get deployed as an aws lamda accessable on /.netlify/<name_of_folder>/<name_of_file>. Netlify also lets us have a build step. This helps keep the repo free of any bundled and minified code and also allows us to run any preprocing steps on the source code before it gets deployed. The build command yarn build runs this command. The netlify-lambda and vue cli hide the nuts and bolts from us but behind the scenes they are using webpack and babel + lots of plugins :sunrise_over_mountains: to make our code run better once its deployed.

netlify-lambda - This takes the contents of src_functions. Compiles, and Minifies it. Then puts the output in the functions directory specified in the netlify.toml
