Serverless Web Apps using Amazon DynamoDB - Part 1

This is part one of a three-part lab which teaches you how to create a serverless web app with an Amazon DynamoDB backend data store. In this first part of the lab, you will build the infrastructure you will need in subsequent labs. You will create a DynamoDB table and add data, then build the necessary IAM roles and polices. To successfully complete this lab, you should be familiar with DynamoDB and IAM through taking those introductory labs.
