Description
Book SynopsisLearn the fundamentals of serverless applications and how to take advantage of time-tested Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build scalable apps. This book shows you how to work with the key features of your applications with minimum code, simple CLI commands and one-click deployments.
You''ll see how to manage authentication, standard UI components, database storage, filesystem, CI/CD pipeline and more. You''ll also examine the architecture, strengths, scalability, and limitations of serverless, and how to use AWS Amplify effectively. You will use tools including React, Cognito, GraphQL, DynamoDB, Kinesis, and Sagemaker.
AWS Amplify is the fastest and easiest way to build serverless web and mobile apps at scale, comprising tools and services that work independently and can be wired together to build scalable apps.
