In this article we will get a bit more deeper into mechanisms of AppSync Subscriptions because even though they are documented in the AppSync documentation we couldn't see or understand some of the behaviours.

Amazon API Gateway is a very flexible cloud service, mostly used to create a REST API powered by a lambda function. I am going to take you through the instructions on how to create a simple HTTP GET endpoint with the help of the Serverless Framework, and how we can return a response in JSON.

The AWS services that I’m going to show you today have many different uses; I’ll focus only on their important features from the serverless architecture point of view. I will also share a few tips on how and why to use these services in your serverless applications.

The Serverless Framework is a CLI tool which provides the deployment infrastructure needed for your serverless application to run seamlessly. It supports around 10 cloud providers, such as AWS and already has a fairly extensive plugin ecosystem—thanks to which it can be adjusted to suit your needs.

In case you haven’t heard of Serverless yet, listen up. It might change the way you design and manage your applications – just like it did for us at Purple Technology back in 2017 when we adopted the technology.
