aws-sam-cli

brew install aws-sam-cli v1.162.1 Apache-2.0

CLI tool for building, testing, and deploying serverless applications on AWS using the Serverless Application Model (SAM).

Why you might care

If you're developing AWS Lambda functions and API Gateway services, SAM provides infrastructure-as-code templates (CloudFormation) and local testing/debugging via sam local. It's the official AWS way to scaffold, validate, and deploy serverless stacks without writing raw CloudFormation.
