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#.

Programming AWS Lambda with Java

Welcome to Chapter 4, Programming AWS Lambda with Java. In this section, we are going to take a look at using Eclipse and the AWS Eclipse plugin. Then we will program our first Lambda functions with Java. And, last but not least, we will build a simple serverless application using Java. Now let's move on to the first video where we get started with Eclipse and the AWS Eclipse plugin.

In this chapter, we are going to take a look at the following:

  • Using Eclipse and the AWS Eclipse plugin
  • Programming Lambda functions with Java
  • A simple application with Java Lambda functions

So let's dive in!

Getting started with Eclipse and the AWS Eclipse plugin

From this section, you will learn how to install the AWS Eclipse plugin, and also try out some of its features. You will also use the plugin to create our first Java Lambda function.
