Up next, I will add the ability to define your entire JAWS API in JSON via Swagger.
Swagger JSON can be imported to create/update your REST API instantly via AWS API Gateway.
Meaning, you can still do larger, versioned roll-outs by simply updating the JSON in your Swagger file.
This will give beautiful structure and simplicity to the JAWS workflow.
The single deployable server you advocate is a single point of failure.
