Building serverless applications with infrastructure as code

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Shows how to stop click‑building in the console and instead use AWS SAM templates plus CloudFormation to version, parameterize and deploy serverless stacks. Demonstrates a real template — about 20 lines — that creates Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and IAM permissions, uses SAM CLI (build, package, deploy), and wires a DynamoDB insert to a Lambda that logs to CloudWatch. Covers parameter options (Parameters, SSM Parameter Store, Secrets Manager, AppConfig, Extensions) and containerized builds, caching and parallel builds for faster local development.
