AWS now has Sam which I hadn't heard of before. It's an extension of cloud formation specifically for deploying serverless code to lambda, building API gateways etc. Their command line tool is pretty slick, I'm wondering if these other third party frameworks are needed anymore.

SAM solves a different set of problems from the frameworks like Chalice. It does not address the app request/response API, deployment package building process and dependency bundling, the test-development cycle, routing and other API Gateway configuration specifics.

Also, Chalice is a first party framework in that it's led by an AWS affiliated developer.

Not just an affiliated developer, one of the developers of the python SDK. It's in an official aws repo too (awslabs).
