Answer 1

I think this topic deserves an update, so I will give it a try. Be sure to first create a certificate with Certificate Manager. Then be sure your "serverless user" has the right admin permissions to modify Route53 record sets. Then add the following to your serverless.yaml:

custom:
  customDomain:
    domainName: "api.example.com"
    certificateName: "*.example.com"
    createRoute53Record: true

plugins:
  - serverless-domain-manager

Before you deploy run (this can take a while):

serverless create_domain
