Welcome to the course for creating a Serverless API that scales safely, predictably, and practically infinitely.
- AWSÂ is a leading provider of cloud infrastructure and managed services for software developers to use.
- AWSÂ CDKÂ (Cloud Development Kit)Â is a framework, created by AWS, for defining Infrastructure as Code and deploying that infrastructure within the AWSÂ cloud.
With AWSÂ CDK and the instructions from this tutorial, you’ll be learning how to:
- Deploy a serverless AWSÂ APIÂ Gateway with RESTÂ APIÂ endpoints
- Forward APIÂ calls from APIÂ Gateway to AWSÂ Lambda, which will scale automatically on-demand
- Connect the Lambdas to a DynamoDB table, which is a serverless NoSQLÂ database by AWS
Take advantage of the ease of use of AWSÂ CDK and the superb performance of the AWSÂ cloud, for launching new ideas easily in a safe, cost-effective, and rapid way.
One of your projects went viral and received a bunch of unexpected traffic? You don’t have to worry at all – because all of the services utilized in this tutorial scale transparently and can handle both “development grade” and “production-grade” traffic. AWS is known for its high availability and scalability.
The tutorial assumes you have some basic knowledge of programming languages and JavaScript and how the cloud works.
