This workshop is designed to show how to make a quick, serverless, RESTful memo API on AWS.
The example project that we will be developing is a RESTful API running on Lambda to perform CRUD operations on memos in a DynamoDB instance.
To follow along you will need a couple of things:
- Insomnia - REST client
- Node.js
- Serverless
- AWS Account
In order to install Serverless, the easiest way is through npm after you have installed Node.js
Once you have installed Serverless, create an AWS account and configure it as shown on the Serverless site where it says "Setup with serverless config credentials command", making sure to substitute the key and secret in the command for the ones provided from the creation of your IAM user.
