Getting started with serverless applications (Level 200)

With serverless computing, you can build and run applications without the need for provisioning or managing servers. Serverless computing means that you can build web, mobile, and IoT backends, run stream processing or big data workloads, run chatbots, and more, without worrying about the infrastructure. In this session, learn how to get started with serverless computing with AWS Lambda, which lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. We show you why serverless is a great toolset for experimenting with new ideas, and hear how the extensibility and modularity of serverless applications allow us to start small and quickly add features. We introduce you to the broader portfolio of AWS services that help you build serverless applications with AWS Lambda, including Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB and more. Lastly, while building the serverless applications, we leverage the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) tool, which is an open-source framework and deploy our serverless application via code.
