In this video, you will use the standard microservice template from Amazon to set up a simple API. This API will use dynamodb as the backend and work through the API management console. The first step is to setup the API and database, and pull the template into lambda to work with.
- [Instructor] It's time to create an API using Lambda…as the engine.…We're going to create a function in Lambda,…which takes the standard rest methods…of get, put, post, and delete.…The back end will use a DynamoDB table,…and the function will work through the AWS API gateway…so that it can be accessed from the outside world.…When we're done with this exercise you'll have a much…stronger understanding of how all the pieces…integrate together.…Fortunately a single AWS login handles all of the…functionality we're putting together,…so there's no more account setup…and we can just get started.…
The first piece of this task is to setup the API…in the API gateway console.…From the AWS console, navigate to API gateway…under application services.…And on the next screen click get started to get started.…Select new API and give it a name you can remember.…I'll use LambdaTest for my instance.…And create API.…We'll come back here to do more setup in a bit,…but for now that's all you need to do.…
The next item on the agenda…
