Packaging and deploying
As a developer we always want to make the deployment and management of our codes simpler and hassle free, especially when it comes to working with a lot of Lambda projects at the same time. These tools accelerate time to development and also help us reduce any errors that may occur when working with the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI.

APEX
APEX is by far the most versatile and easy deployment and management tool that I've come across. It is extremely simple to install, and get started with. To install the tool on most major Linux distributions, you simply need to copy and paste the following command on your Terminal:
