Summary
In this chapter, we focused on understanding the serverless model and getting started with AWS and Lambda, the first building block of a serverless application on AWS. We looked at the main advantages and disadvantages of the serverless model and its use cases. We explained the serverless model, and worked with AWS serverless services. We also created and executed the AWS Lambda function.
In the next chapter, we'll look at the capabilities of the AWS Serverless Platform and how AWS supports enterprise-grade serverless applications, with and without Lambda. From Compute to API Gateway and from storage to databases, the chapter will cover the fully managed services that can be used to build and run serverless applications on AWS.
