https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL_7Odb7GLM In this article, you're going to learn how to deploy your first AWS Lambda Function as an API Gateway endpoint without much of a hassle thanks to the Serverless Framework. The technologies used in this tuto...

Really well written article, I just have a question about the serverless config file itself,

I used your article to create the lambda function and able to trigger the endpoint. Now i want to add a Dynamo DB and a step function to the serverless config file, initially when we create the project, we used a template to generate the YAML file, now in order for the lambda to interact with the AWS services, what changes do i make within the function section so that when my endpoint is triggered I am able to putItem into DynamoDB and with that start a step function workflow ?

Nice Article

Does this not require NAT Gateway to connect the Lambda with the internet?

Great question Nilanth!

I double-checked, and as long as your API Gateway endpoint is public, you don't need to use VPC at all.

Therefore to answer your question:

No, NAT Gateway is not required. You can make requests from your Lambda to any publicly available Internet endpoints.

Great article! I've heard great things about the serverless framework.

I'm writing a similar article on lambda and the AWS CDK. I've been interested in learning about the difference between the serverless framework and the AWS CDK.

Keep tthe good articles coming! ☺️

Thank you, Philip. I haven't had a chance yet to look at the AWS CDK, although I'm curious about the differences (going to add it to my topic list).

And yeah definitely I'm going to keep the articles coming!

Interesting read, I will have to try this soon. I also just posted my first blog here on hashnode, please check it out! You Validate Your Downloaded Software, Right?

Thanks! Let me know how it goes once you try it 🙂
