serverless.yml

With your functions definition in the serverless.yml you need to tell it explicitly that there needs to be an http event trigger added to it. Serverless lets you set a large number of possible event triggers within the AWS eco system so you need to explicitly define which you want for a particular Lambda function. And the change is as simple as a few more lines than you already have:
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
events:
- http:
method: get
path: /myendpointpath
If you want to see all possible event triggers this page should help:
