# Use Amazon CodeBuild with serverless applications
<a name="serverless-applications"></a>

The Amazon Serverless Application Model (Amazon SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. For more information, see the [Amazon serverless application model](https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-application-model) repository on GitHub.

You can use Amazon CodeBuild to package and deploy serverless applications that follow the Amazon SAM standard. For the deployment step, CodeBuild can use Amazon CloudFormation. To automate the building and deployment of serverless applications with CodeBuild and Amazon CloudFormation, you can use Amazon CodePipeline.

For more information, see [Deploying Serverless Applications](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-deploying.html) in the *Amazon Serverless Application Model Developer Guide*.
