Want to Create REST APIs Without Any Server? Go Serverless
Build an API with DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, API gateway, and a Serverless framework
So you got an idea of creating an API but thinking about how to manage the servers, databases, and security? Then this is an article for you.
In this article, I will talk about how you can create your own APIs without having to worry about any servers.
The answer is Serverless.
Serverless is a cloud-based development model where you don’t need to own any servers but use the services that can be used independently. For this tutorial, we will be using AWS services for creating our own REST API.
We will not write any code in this article as this is an article to get you familiar with how to go with designing your API without any server.
Following things, we will be needed when building the API.
- Database: Your API will return data from your database to API consumers.
- An API endpoint: consumers will use this endpoint to call your API and get the response.
Okay, let's talk about cool stuff now.
