The first challenge in this course provides a hands-on, step-by-step walkthrough of creating a new Serverless service using Express.js.
In this challenge, you'll discover how to…
- Deploy a simple API endpoint
- Add a DynamoDB table and two endpoints to create and retrieve a User object
- Set up path-specific routing for more granular metrics and monitoring
- Configure your environment for local development for a faster development experience.
- OPTION 1: Complete Deploy a REST API using Serverless, Express and Node.js as written (solo or pair project)
- OPTION 2: Complete Deploy a REST API using Serverless, Express and Node.js but change
Users
to an entity of your choosing. For example,Pokemon
,Cars
, orProducts
(solo or pair project) - OPTION 3: Take an existing Node and Express project and convert it to use the Serverless framework. Use Converting an existing Express application to guide you! (up to 3 per team)
When done, submit the URL to your deployed API on Gradescope.
