The Amazon Serverless Application Repository is a managed repository for serverless applications. It enables teams, organizations, and individual developers to store and share reusable applications, and easily assemble and deploy serverless architectures in powerful new ways. Using the Serverless Application Repository, you don't need to clone, build, package, or publish source code to Amazon Web Services before deploying it. Instead, you can use pre-built applications from the Serverless Application Repository in your serverless architectures, helping you and your teams reduce duplicated work, ensure organizational best practices, and get to market faster. Integration with Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides resource-level control of each application, enabling you to publicly share applications with everyone or privately share them with specific Amazon Web Services accounts. To share an application you've built, publish it to the Amazon Serverless Application Repository.

Each application is packaged with an Amazon Web Services Serverless Application Model (SAM) template that defines the Amazon Web Services resources used. Publicly shared applications also include a link to the application’s source code. There is no additional charge to use the Serverless Application Repository - you only pay for the Amazon Web Services resources used in the applications you deploy.
