Summary

In this chapter, we saw the basics of Infrastructure as Code and how it aids in scaling. We briefly looked at the Serverless Framework and retrofitted it in the LetsPollAPI app. With this, we saw how easy it is to provision a new environment for the code in minutes. We also looked at the caveats and challenges of scaling a serverless application, and saw some of the remediation for it.

In the next chapter, we will explore some advanced AWS Services, such as Cloud9, and write an Alexa skill that will enhance our system.
