Designing Serverless Applications with AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) and AWS AppSync

In the realm of modern application development, managing data efficiently and effectively stands as a core challenge. As we delve into the world of serverless architectures, the emphasis shifts to leveraging services that scale automatically, reduce operational overhead, and simplify deployment processes. AWS provides a robust suite of serverless technologies that streamline the handling of dynamic datasets without the need for traditional server management.

This chapter focuses on a serverless application stack incorporating AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon DynamoDB. These services form the backbone of scalable, efficient, and highly available serverless applications. Our journey through these technologies will be contextualized within a practical project exercise for our fictional client, Todo Plus Limited, enabling you to apply learned...
