Overview:

Remix Serverless is an adapter that allows developers to use the Serverless framework with Remix, as an alternative to the built-in Architect framework adapter. It provides the flexibility to use REST API Gateway instead of the enforced HTTP API Gateway. Additionally, it enables the deployment of the web client using the Serverless framework and supports the new composite functionality of the Serverless framework along with other Serverless framework stacks.
