🧭 Repository Context

This repository is part of a modularization effort to separate each of the 8 most common AWS architectures into independent projects.
The code and resources here were extracted from a general repository that originally contained all 8 architectures, to improve clarity, maintainability, and reuse.

🔗 AWS Serverless API Backend

This project shows how to build a serverless API on AWS.
It uses API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB to create a fully managed backend — no servers to maintain.

---

📐 Architecture

• API Gateway → HTTPS entry point for client requests.
• Lambda (Node.js) → Serverless functions that handle the logic.
• DynamoDB → NoSQL database to store and retrieve data.

---

✅ Why This Pattern?

Feature	Benefit
Serverless	No infrastructure to manage
Scalable	Automatically adjusts to traffic
Cost-efficient	Pay only for what you use
Fast to deploy	Great for MVPs, prototypes, and production APIs

---

🌍 Real-World Use Cases

• Backend for mobile or web apps
• Lightweight REST APIs
• CRUD operations with DynamoDB
• Microservices with minimal overhead

---

📦 What’s Inside

• Architecture diagram
• Terraform code for API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB
• Example Lambda function (Node.js)
• Deployment scripts
