Defining serverless applications

First things first, what is considered a serverless application? In the context of AWS, serverless is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverage AWS services designed to abstract away the underlying infrastructure management tasks. These applications are event-driven, scalable, and follow a pay-per-use pricing model, allowing developers to focus on writing code without worrying about provisioning, scaling, or maintaining servers or clusters.

The core components of serverless applications on AWS typically include AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon EventBridge. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that allows you to run your code without provisioning or managing servers. API Gateway acts as the entry point for serverless applications, routing incoming API requests to the appropriate Lambda functions or other backend services. Step Functions is a serverless function orchestrator that enables...
