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.

Designing RESTful APIs

When designing RESTful APIs, it's essential to consider the following principles:

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

For example, let's consider a simple API for managing users:

{
  "users": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "john.doe@example.
