Hello, This chapter states that when the API is deployed it will be in this stage:

stage: prod

Mine is showing this:

stage: dev

Is this a problem?

It isn’t but I think changing it to match the chapter is better.

I’m getting:

An error occurred: HelloLambdaFunction - Uploaded file must be a non-empty zip

The full error:

Any thoughts? My notes-api project seems identical to what’s laid out in the chapter.

Turns out this is a Serverless bug. Using node 15.5 instead of 15.6 worked for me - seems like they’ll have a fix in soon.
