#AWS CLI LOCAL DYNAMODB FOR FREE#
Don’t worry, there is plenty of it for free 🙂Ĭhoose the region from the top right and click Create a functionįill the function name, I will use ‘employee’ for this example, Runtime – Node.js 10.x. and one more thing – you are paying only for the compute time you consume. Just “deploy” your code and you are ready to go. The cool thing about it is that we don’t have to care about scaling and other server administration/management things. We will use the popular Lambda service as a back-end. Implement local development capabilities using Docker Compose (for easier development and testing)Ĭonfigure AWS – Create Lambda function with API Gateway and DynamoDB database table creationīefore continue, you will have to register to AWS(if you haven’t already) –.
Automate the deploy process using AWS CLI.Setup new Node.JS project using Serverless Express and implement basic routes.Configure AWS – Create Lambda function with API Gateway and DynamoDB database table creation.In order to understand the code, we will explore it file by file, step by step. You can see the complete code in First Class JS – GitHub(link). My main goal is to introduce you to the basics of using AWS, not the best practices to write Node.JS code. The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to create your first serverless API using Amazon Web Services(AWS) Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway for API exposure and of course Node.JS.
