Up
Up is a deployment tool that transforms any HTTP server into an AWS Lambda function behind API Gateway with a single command, eliminating server management entirely. It provides a unified platform for building and deploying serverless APIs that scale automatically and charge only for actual usage, while supporting Node.js, Go, Python, Java, Crystal, and Clojure runtimes without per-language configuration.
The tool automates the generation and management of all required AWS resources—including Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, and S3—from a declarative configuration, and can replicate the entire application stack across multiple AWS regions to reduce latency for global users. It also includes encrypted configuration management, storing sensitive values in encrypted form and decrypting them only at runtime within the Lambda execution environment.
For production operations, Up monitors Lambda function errors and sends notifications through configurable channels for rapid incident response. It also serves static assets from AWS CloudFront and S3 through the same Lambda endpoint, avoiding the need for a separate web server.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
