The doctl serverless commands provide an environment for developing, testing, and deploying serverless functions.
One or more local file system areas are employed, along with one or more ‘functions namespaces’ in the cloud.
A one-time install of the serverless software is needed (use doctl serverless install to install the software,
then doctl serverless connect to connect to a functions namespace associated with your account).
Other doctl serverless commands are used to develop, test, and deploy.
