Regist Subscriber

To receive alert, create subscription to SNS topic. This app will create SNS topic named serverless-web-monitor.

Access Control

We recommend to restrict access to these API endpoints. (e.g. AWS WAF with CloudFront)

If you set private: true in serverless.yml, all API endpoints require API Key.

custom:
  private: true
