Learn how to build and deploy serverless applications on AWS

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.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Understand the fundamental concepts of AWS Lambda
• Get to grips with the Serverless Framework and how to create a serverless project
• Testing and debugging Lambda functions
• Create a stateful, serverless backend with DynamoDB
• Program AWS Lambda with Java, Python, and C#
