This repository contains a serverless web application built with Python and AWS Lambda. The application demonstrates a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality using AWS Lambda functions and Amazon DynamoDB.
Before you can run this application, make sure you have the following installed:
Additionally, you need to have an AWS account and configure your AWS CLI with your credentials.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/icode247/python_serverless_app.git
cd python_serverless_app
pip install -r requirements.txt
sls deploy
This command will create the necessary AWS resources, such as Lambda functions and a DynamoDB table. Note the API endpoint displayed in the output after the deployment is complete.
To test the application locally, use the Serverless Offline plugin:
sls offline
This command will start a local server on port 3000 by default. You can test your Lambda function by making a request to the local endpoint:
curl http://localhost:3000/dev/items/{id}
To stop the local server, press Ctrl + C in the terminal.
After deployment, you can test the application using the API endpoint provided in the deployment output. Use the following command, replacing your-api-endpoint with the actual API endpoint:
curl https://your-api-endpoint.amazonaws.com/dev/items/{id}
To remove the deployed AWS resources, run the following command:
sls remove
This will delete the Lambda functions, DynamoDB table, and other resources created during deployment.
