Overview of this book

Serverless computing is a way to run your code without having to provision or manage servers. Amazon Web Services provides serverless services that you can use to build and deploy cloud-native applications. Starting with the basics of AWS Lambda, this book takes you through combining Lambda with other services from AWS, such as Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Step Functions. You’ll learn how to write, run, and test Lambda functions using examples in Node.js, Java, Python, and C# before you move on to developing and deploying serverless APIs efficiently using the Serverless Framework. In the concluding chapters, you’ll discover tips and best practices for leveraging Serverless Framework to increase your development productivity. By the end of this book, you’ll have become well-versed in building, securing, and running serverless applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda without having to manage any servers.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about another form of API that we can use for developing mobile applications and web application frontends. We reviewed two methods of implementation, both with varying degrees of flexibility and management. After reading this chapter, you should now have the knowledge to get started experimenting or following a tutorial that steps you through the setup process.

Thank you for reading this book through to the final chapter! I hope you have learned many new skills using serverless and that your brain is so full that you can't wait to start implementing some of your ideas. Here is an overview of what we have covered throughout the chapters:

  • Understanding the evolution of compute and how the function came about
  • Introduction to the event-driven mindset behind serverless and cloud computing
  • Learning about how functions as a service work in AWS...
