Preface

Welcome to Learning AWS Lambda!

In this book, you will learn how to use Lambda, how to use it in combination with other AWS services, in particular API Gateway Service, but also services such as DynamoDB, which is the database as a service offering by Amazon that is also a pay-per-use utility-based, utility computing-based service, which works very well in the context of our serverless application architecture.

Also, we will look at other Amazon Web Services that work well alongside Lambda. In addition, you will learn how to use the serverless framework to build larger applications to structure your code, to autogenerate boilerplate code that you can use to get started quickly. In this video, we will explore Lambda and you will learn how to build scalable and cost-efficient applications that require nearly no operations once you have built and deployed your application.

So let's get started on this wonderful journey.
