Summary

This blog post discusses building a serverless web application in AWS using the Serverless framework. The application is built on top of AWS Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and IAM roles. The project uses a hybrid approach to code organization, dividing the code into microservices that share similar functionality. The use of Serverless addresses several pain points, including sharing code between functions, handling environmental variables, and making API Gateway communicate with Lambda functions. The project structure is well-organized, with separate folders for each function and resources. The blog post also covers the deployment workflow, testing, and final thoughts on using Serverless for building serverless applications. Additionally, it highlights the importance of learning and experimenting to get the most out of AWS Lambda and its features.
