In this chapter, we learned a couple of things: how to navigate the AWS web dashboard, and how to navigate the Management Console. We also created and tested our first Lambda function and then we created a REST API and connected it to Lambda. Then we invoked the API, and through the API, we invoked our Lambda function. As you can imagine, it can become quite tedious to create more complex applications if we do it all on the Management Console. The Management Console is great for getting started, but it's not the right tool for building serious applications. It would be great if there was a programmatic framework that would help us to do that. Thankfully, there is. In the next chapter, we will explore the Serverless framework, which is a development framework that helps you to build serverless applications. See you there.

Overview of this book
AWS Lambda is a part of AWS that lets you run your code without provisioning or managing servers. This enables you to deploy applications and backend services that operate with no upfront cost. This book gets you up to speed on how to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda.
The book starts with the fundamental concepts of AWS Lambda, and then teaches you how to combine your applications with other AWS services, such as AmazonAPI Gateway and DynamoDB. This book will also give a quick walk through on how to use the Serverless Framework to build larger applications that can structure code or autogenerate boilerplate code that can be used to get started quickly for increased productivity.
Toward the end of the book, you will learn how to write, run, and test Lambda functions using Node.js, Java, Python, and C#.
