In the section above Your first Serverless app using AWS console, we looked at how to create, update, deploy, and test AWS Lambda functions through the AWS Console. However, when you are part of a larger team and want to make your AWS Lambda functions production-ready, you will typically be working on your AWS Lambda functions from your local development environment, using certain tools such as the AWS SAM to deploy your AWS Lambda functions to an AWS environment. For this section, we will be using Visual Studio Code (installation instructions are in Chapter 2, Development Environment, Tools, and SDKs ) to write the code for your AWS Lambda function, and the AWS SAM to test and deploy the AWS Lambda function to an AWS environment from your workstation.

Overview of this book
Serverless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes. Serverless software takes care of many problems that developers face when running systems and servers, such as fault tolerance, centralized logging, horizontal scalability, and deployments.
You will learn how to harness serverless technology to rapidly reduce production time and minimize your costs, while still having the freedom to customize your code, without hindering functionality. Upon finishing the book, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself.
This hands-on guide dives into the basis of serverless architectures and how to build them using Node.js as a programming language, Visual Studio Code for code editing, and Postman for quickly and securely developing applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms.
