" summary

Thirty minutes covers two concrete entry paths for TypeScript devs: AWS Lambda + API Gateway as a minimal serverless backend, and AWS CDK in TypeScript to synthesize CloudFormation. Demo shows npm install of cdk, cdk init, a stack that creates a Node.js Lambda and a GET /hello route, then cdk deploy -> a generated URL that returns "hello" with status 200. Also outlines the four serverless promises and the synthesize-to-CloudFormation workflow.
