Summary

In this chapter, we covered the architecture of an AWS Lambda function and installed the SAM CLI to help us to generate Lambda functions, deploy Lambda functions, and run them locally.

We can distill the key takeaways from this chapter into the following:

• We also discussed the DynamoDB database and worked through some examples of using NoSQL Workbench to generate code for us, which we can use to interact with our data.

• We also created a few TypeScript based Lambda functions, which were able to use either data sent as part of a POST operation or path parameters to guide their behavior.
