Converting a Serverless App to run on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB with Serverless Framework

via egghead.io

Overview

This collection is a sequel to the Building a Serverless JAMStack Todo app with Netlify, Gatsby, GraphQL, and FaunaDB collection. In this collection we take the TODO application we built and convert it to run using Netlify Identity, AWS Lambda (using the serverless framework) and DynamoDB. We cover
Fauna vs DynamoDB and when to use each
Setting up AWS accounts
Creating DynamoDB tables and data modeling differences between Fauna and Dynamo
Converting our Netlify Functions deployment to a Serverless Framework deployment
Implementing Custom authorizer functions on AWS
It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible. Netlify Functions grows into Serverless Framework adn AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity is kept around, and FaunaDB can grows into DynamoDB.
