AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) is an open-source framework that simplifies the process of building serverless applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It provides shorthand syntax for expressing functions, APIs, and event source mappings in a SAM template. As teams look to leverage serverless architectures for their applications, SAM streamlines deployment and management, enabling developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure. Users can write applications using their preferred programming languages, including Node.js, Python, Java, and Go, among others.

With AWS SAM, developers benefit from built-in monitoring and logging through AWS CloudWatch, easy local testing, and support for a variety of AWS services. The framework enhances productivity by providing tools to build, test, and debug serverless applications in a local development environment. Pricing for AWS SAM is mainly incurred through the AWS services that are utilized, with individual costs depending on the resources consumed during execution. AWS SAM is widely adopted for its seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem, allowing teams to rapidly innovate and deploy serverless solutions while maintaining cost efficiency and scalability.
