Local Development with AWS Lambda and NestJS: Docker Debugging and Hot Reload

If you’ve ever worked with C#, Azure Functions, and Visual Studio, you know the comfort. Click here, debug there, drop in Docker with a single click — it’s smooth sailing. Visual Studio does a lot behind the scenes, making our dev life so easy. But step into AWS Lambdas and Node.js, and the scene changes. Suddenly, things aren’t handed to you on a silver platter. You’re configuring, tweaking, and piecing together bits to make things click. In this guide, we’re diving into that setup. How to integrate NestJS and AWS Lambda, dockerize it, and even get debugging and hot reload to play nicely inside Docker — all to mimic the ease Visual Studio provides for Azure Functions, but in the Node.js and AWS domain. <a href="https://medium.com/@venya-brodetskiy/local-development-with-aws-lambda-and-nestjs-docker-debugging-and-hot-reload-e9c75fb0c6c4">Click Here</a>
