Coding the solution

By now, you should have a solid understanding of the core services used, the reasons behind the services chosen, and most importantly, how everything aligns with your requirements. You are finally able to proceed with the actual implementation.

Cloning the project

If you are following along with the previous chapters, you should have already cloned the repository associated with this book, but if you just arrived, start by cloning the repo, or optionally download the repository as a ZIP file. The repository is structured with folders for each chapter, and all the code for this chapter is located in chapter3/code.

• frontend: This contains the code for your frontend
• backend: This contains the code for your API
• platform: This contains two different CloudFormation templates to deploy the main infrastructure for your application
