In the world of modern development, serverless computing has become table stakes. Serverless computing has seen a major uptake with AWS Lambda having an increased adoption of 667% in 2018. Companies are making the switch to serverless for shorter time to market and decreased operational costs, but for you the advantage lies in the ability to offload the burden of managing infrastructure to serverless platforms, so you can focus on building even better apps.

In this course, you will learn how to run serverless applications using AWS Lambda. You’ll start with the basics such as creating a web service where you’ll learn the steps to deploy an AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). You’ll then move on to more advanced topics such as handling HTTP Requests, using external storage, and managing sessions and user workflows. By the end of this course, you will be ready to work with AWS Lambda in a professional setting, and you’ll have a great, transferable skill that employers will love to see.

Running Serverless Applications with AWS Lambda

It tells SAM how to call the application. 

It specifies the name for the subdirectory where the application files are stored.

It tells SAM which programming language or execution environment is needed for the code to run. 

It tells SAM how to handle runtime errors. 

What is the purpose of the `--runtime` argument in the `sam init` command?

What is the purpose of the <code>--runtime</code> argument in the <code>sam init</code> command?

A  CloudFormation stack is a source file describing an application infrastructure into a set of running, configured cloud resources.

Select all the arguments necessary for Lambda functions:

It lists key information required for the users of a template or for clients connecting to this application.

It activates SAM features and resources, allowing us to use compact descriptions for many building blocks common to serverless applications.

It lists the services or resources for CloudFormation to configure.

It enables us to reduce the overall template file size by listing common settings in a single place instead of repeating them for each Lambda function.
