Summary
In this chapter, you have seen the challenges of traditional web application development and how serverless development can address them. You also learned how to work with API Gateway and expose a REST-based API with it. You integrated AWS S3 with API Gateway and created and read a bucket using PUT and GET APIs. We then created Lambda functions. We worked with AWS Rekognition in the event-based architecture to analyze images at runtime and identify important data inside them.
In the next chapter, we'll explore the capabilities of AWS Athena. We'll also work with AWS Glue, and learn how to populate the AWS Glue Data Catalog.
