sam: Build your Lambda function code.

$ sam build

try on your machine

The command "sam build" is used in the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) framework. SAM simplifies the development and deployment of serverless applications on AWS.

The "sam build" command is used to build or prepare your serverless application for deployment. It performs the following tasks:

Analyzes your application's source code and dependencies.
Downloads any dependencies specified in your code or templates.
Bundles all the necessary files into a deployment package.

The command looks for a "template.yaml" or "template.yml" file, which is the AWS SAM template that describes your serverless application's resources, such as AWS Lambda functions, APIs, and event sources.

By running "sam build", you ensure that your application is ready for deployment by resolving dependencies and packaging it into an optimized format. This enables you to quickly iterate and test your application locally before deploying it to the AWS Cloud.
