Overview of this book

AWS Lambda is a part of AWS that lets you run your code without provisioning or managing servers. This enables you to deploy applications and backend services that operate with no upfront cost. This book gets you up to speed on how to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda. The book starts with the fundamental concepts of AWS Lambda, and then teaches you how to combine your applications with other AWS services, such as AmazonAPI Gateway and DynamoDB. This book will also give a quick walk through on how to use the Serverless Framework to build larger applications that can structure code or autogenerate boilerplate code that can be used to get started quickly for increased productivity. Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to write, run, and test Lambda functions using Node.js, Java, Python, and C#.

Deploying and Testing AWS Lambda Functions

Now you know how to create a Lambda function using Eclipse, we are going to deploy and test our function.

First, we will set up our Eclipse IDE with AWS credentials so that we can access AWS from within Eclipse. Then we will deploy and run our Lambda function from within Eclipse. And, last but not least, we will take a look at the Lambda function on our AWS Management Console.

Go back to the Eclipse IDE. The first thing that we need to check before we can upload and run our Lambda function is if Eclipse has access credentials to access AWS. So, open the Preferences and you can see on the left-hand side there is an item for AWS Toolkit, as shown in the following screenshot:

As you can see in the preceding screenshot, the Toolkit is set up with the default AWS profile, including the access key ID and the secret access key.

If you have...
