Jumpstart Your Serverless Journey with AWS
Serverless development might sound like magic, but trust me—it’s not the kind of sorcery that will leave you scratching your head or calling tech support. In this session, we’ll uncover the secrets of serverless (no wands required) and build a fully functional API backend step-by-step.
Using the Serverless Framework, TypeScript, and AWS tools like API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and more, we’ll start with the basics and grow your skills to intermediate-level wizardry. Along the way, I’ll share real-world examples of serverless projects I’ve implemented (because nothing beats showing off how “abracadabra” translates into real business results).
Here’s what we’ll cover:
– Writing and deploying your first serverless function.
– Integrating an API Gateway with DynamoDB for scalable data storage.
– Best practices and design patterns for bulletproof serverless applications.
– Real-world case studies: What worked, what didn’t, and the quirky surprises along the way.
Whether you’re new to serverless or want to take your skills to the next level, this talk has something for you. Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and plenty of “ah-ha!” takeaways to bring back to your next project.
