Introduction to Designing Serverless APIs

You've scaled to 10M requests/day. Suddenly, your DB connection pool is maxed out, and you're facing performance issues. It's time to consider a serverless architecture. In this tutorial, we'll focus on designing RESTful APIs, creating API Gateway endpoints, integrating with AWS Lambda functions, and implementing authentication and authorization using AWS IAM and AWS Cognito 2.9.1.

  • Resource-based architecture
  • Client-server architecture
  • Stateless communication
  • Cacheable data
  • Uniform interface

      "email": "john.doe@example.
