Building Serverless Node.js Apps on AWS: A Brief Guide on Where to Start

There are varying ways one can pursue starting a new or converting an existing project to a Serverless architecture. One of the many arguments heard is that developers typically don’t know where to begin. This book is intended for those seeking to leverage the Serverless Framework with a project written in Node.js. Expanding on the AWS Serverless App tutorial series, this book provides a step by step guide for building Node.js Serverless projects on AWS. It aims to solve one of the more predominant causes of delaying the transition to Serverless by providing engineers with an outline of where to begin on their Serverless journey. Example projects are provided to demonstrate several avenues that can be taken as well as some housekeeping items like formatting and building the continuous integration and delivery pipeline. Readers also get end-of-chapter quizzes, cheat sheets, and access to the full source code from the examples in this book.
