You can do this from macOS, Windows, or Cloud9 in AWS.
Tested with Python 3.6.6 and pip 18.1 on macOS 10.14.2, using AWS us-east-1.
Make sure to create an account on aws.amazon.com.
This walkthrough uses the Chalice Serverless Microframework
to create a simple API with Python3 deployed to AWS API Gateway and Lambda.
No promises on Windows-based systems (sorry)!
Install and configure the AWS CLI
pip install awscli
aws configure
Create a Python virtual environment
virtualenv -p python3 venv && source venv/bin/activate
Install Chalice
pip install chalice
Create a new project
chalice new-project um-facts
Deploy to AWS
cd um-facts && chalice deploy
Test it out!
curl -X GET [your API URL]
Adjust to taste and redeploy, possibly by getting data from a DynamoDB table or by
getting data from an RDS database.
You could also test locally with chalice local.
