Introduction

In the previous chapter, we focused on understanding the serverless model and getting started with AWS and Lambda, the first building blocks of a serverless application on AWS. You also learned about how the serverless model differs from traditional product development.

In this chapter, we will learn about other AWS capabilities such as S3, SNS, and SQS. You can start by asking students about different AWS serverless technologies that the students have heard about or have had the chance to work with. Talk to them briefly about different AWS services such as S3 storage, API Gateway, SNS, SQS, and DynamoDB services. We will discuss them in detail in this chapter.
