My Serverless journey

I have recently begun learning serverless architecture on AWS for a project I had to do for work, Migrating a backend mobile architecture to serverless.

I had never had an encounter with serverless architecture before, however, I decided to take up this as a challenge.

I designed an architectural diagram for it comprising the different services I believe I needed for the project's success.

I embarked on learning and began a journey on everything serverless using aws documentation and articles I found online, just like you have found this.

I stumbled upon a promo for a free serverless lab series that would last till 15th august , I embarked on it and finished in a day.

So far in the series, I achieved the following

  • Created a Lambda function from a blueprint.

  • Created an Amazon Kinesis Stream and used it to trigger your Lambda function.

  • Used CloudWatch to monitor your function.

  • Create an Amazon DynamoDB table and inserted sample data.

  • Enabled Amazon DynamoDB Streams.

  • Tested and enabled the Lambda function on an Amazon DynamoDB table.
