I need to configure a lambda via serverless.yml
to use different provision concurrency for different environments. Below is my lambda configuration:
myLambda:
handler: src/lambdas
name: myLambda
provisionedConcurrency: ${self:custom.pc}
...
custom:
pc: ${env:PC}
The value PC is loaded from environment variable. It works for values greater than 0 but I can't set a value 0
in one environment. What I want to do is to disable provision concurrency in dev
environment.
I have read through this doc https://forum.serverless.com/t/conditional-serverless-yml-based-on-stage/1763/3 but it doesn't seem to help in my case.
How can I set provisionedConcurrency
conditional based on environment?

This is a fairly simple trick by using a cascading value variable. The first value is the one you want, the second one being a default, or fallback value. Also called cascading variables.
// serverless.yml
provider:
stage: "dev"
custom:
provisionedConcurrency:
live: 100
staging: 50
other: 10
myLambda:
handler: src/lambdas
name: myLambda
provisionedConcurrency: ${self:custom.provisionedConcurrency.${self:provider.stage}, self:custom.provisionedConcurrency.other}
This above with stage set to dev will default to "other" value of 10, but if you set stage via serverless deploy --stage live
then it will use the live value of 100.
See here for more details: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/variables#syntax
You can use an js include and put your conditional logic there. It's called "asynchronous value support". Basically, this allows you to put logic in a javascript file which you include and it can return different values depending on various things (like, what AWS account you're on, or if certain variables are set, or whatever). Basically, it allows you to do this...
provisionedConcurrency: ${file(./detect_env.js):get_provisioned_concurrency}
Which works if you create a javascript file in this folder called detect_env.js, and it has the contents similar to...
module.exports.get_provisioned_concurrency = () => {
if ("put logic to detect which env you are deploying to, eg for live") {
return Promise.resolve('100');
} else {
// Otherwise fallback to 10
return Promise.resolve('10');
}
}

I felt I had to reply here even though this was asked months ago because none of the answers were even remotely close to the right answer and I really felt sorry for the author or anyone who lands here.

Just using a variable with a null value for dev environments during on deploy/package and SLS will skip this property:
provisionedConcurrency: ${self:custom.variables.provisionedConcurrency}

For really sticky problems, I find it's useful to go to the Cloudformation script instead and use the Cloudformation Intrinsic Functions.
For this case, if you know all the environments you could use Fn::FindInMap
Or if it's JUST production which needs 0 then you could use the conditional Fn::If
and a boolean Condition
test in the Cloudformation template to test if environment equals production, use 0, else use the templated value from SLS.
Potential SLS:
resources:
Conditions:
UseZero: !Equals ["production", ${provider.stage}]
Resources:
myLambda:
ProvisionedConcurrency: !If [UseZero, 0, ${self:custom.pc}]
You can explicitly remove the ProvisionedConcurrency
property as well if you want:
resources:
Conditions:
UseZero: !Equals ["production", ${provider.stage}]
Resources:
myLambda:
ProvisionedConcurrency: !If [UseZero, AWS::NoValue, ${self:custom.pc}]
Edit: You can still use SLS to deploy; it simply compiles into a Cloudformation JSON template which you can explicitly modify with the SLS resources
field.

The Serverless Framework provides a really useful dashboard tool with a feature called Parameters. Essentially what it lets you do is connect your service to it then you can set different values for different stages and then use those values in your serverless.yml with syntax like ${param:VARAIBLE_NANE_HERE} and it gets replaced at deploy time with the right value for whatever stage you are currently deploying. Super handy. There are also a bunch of other features in the dashboard such as monitoring and troubleshooting.
You can find out more about Parameters at the official documentation here: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/guides/parameters/
And how to get started with the dashboard here: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/guides/dashboard#enabling-the-dashboard-on-existing-serverless-framework-services
