Unlocking AWS Serverless with Terraform
summary
Shows how to provision an AWS serverless API with Terraform modules and a remote backend, actually creating three Lambdas (create, get, email worker), API Gateway, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS and SES email identity. Uses Terraform v5.x, a CI Terraform runner to plan/apply, NodeJS 22 lambdas, zip-or-S3 deployment rules and IAM policies. Demo initially hits permission and deploy hiccups but completes and sends a real verification email, proving the pipeline and notification flow work end to end.
