I’m studying the Serverless Framework to use in a project, the problem is that my project already have around 40 Lambdas Functions and a APi Gateway pointing to those functions.  
So, there is a way to create the yml configuration file based on existing functions and API Gateway?

@victor Unfortunately there is no way to map those Lambda functions back to the framework. The Framework maintains its own state. What you can do is create a new project via the framework and copy the code for the functions into the framework project.
