AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a powerful tool providing command line access to various AWS services. With AWS CLI, users can swiftly deploy, configure, and manage AWS services, like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and Lambda functions. It simplifies complex operations by enabling developers to create, update, and delete AWS resources using commands. Its versatility and ease of use make it an integral part of cloud development workflows, allowing users to streamline processes, automate repetitive tasks, and maintain better control over their AWS infrastructure.
In this Cloud Lab, you will learn to configure the AWS CLI. After configuring it, you’ll learn to create and manage DynamoDB tables using the AWS CLI. Next, you’ll explore creating Lambda functions that interact with DynamoDB tables to perform CRUD operations. Then, you’ll move on to creating a customized API using the AWS CLI, which will interact with Lambda functions to perform CRUD operations on DynamoDB. Finally, you’ll integrate the customized API into a functional Next application.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll have hands-on experience in developing a complete CRUD ecosystem using AWS CLI, Lambda functions, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, showcasing the prowess of AWS’s serverless architecture for scalable and efficient database operations.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure you will create in this Cloud Lab:
