Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing here regarding things like git, or CI/CD, or how-to-use-it-when-a-medium-to-large-team-is-involved

If anyone has any research, thoughts, or comments on this side of Lambda, I'd love to learn more

Hey Daniel,

We've been experimenting with a lot of best practices around serverless development with StdLib [1]. Everything from versioning, project and team management, to authentication and billing. Basically --- we acknowledged that a lot of these aspects were surprisingly difficult and created a "git-esque" workflow for serverless function management ("lib up" to deploy, "lib get" to retrieve a current version of a function, etc.) - would love your feedback if you have time.

(Disclaimer: Founder.)

IMO one of the better ways to handle managing config and functions is using the Serverless Framework: https://serverless.com/

Your configuration and your code both live together, and can be stored in git together. You can create separate environments -- dev, staging, production, etc -- and deploy to them separately.

There aren't great options for testing in Lambda right now, and for the most part the advice I've seen is to make testable libraries, and then hook them into lambda.
