title: How to test aws lambda functions locally
body: <p>I have a mobile application backend developed with node.js express. I tried it to deploy it as lambda service. For that I created a Serverless Framework project (<a href="https://github.com/serverless">https://github.com/serverless</a>). Previously I tested mobile app locally by starting express backend application. Now I can't find a method to test my mobile app locally without local backend. <code>jaws run</code> command only run once I called it. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any method to start the lambda function as a web service? Or is there any alternative to Serverless Framework?</p>
