Summary
In this chapter, we learned about AWS SAM—an easy-to-use extension of CloudFormation designed specifically for serverless applications. We learned about SAM, how it differs from CloudFormation, and what it consists of.
We learned about the structure of SAM projects, deployment and operability options, and how to develop simple and complex serverless applications. This knowledge will help you to understand whether you want to start using SAM for specific projects or applications or whether you want to stick to CloudFormation.
This is the last technical chapter of this book. You did a great job and I hope you've learned a lot from this book and will use this knowledge to build production-ready, scalable solutions on AWS using CloudFormation.
In the next chapter, we will sit back, relax, and try to find out what we can expect from CloudFormation and IaC as a whole.
Stay tuned!
