AWS SAM 👉 Trigger Lambda From API Tutorial 🔥

You have an AWS Lambda function and you want to trigger it using a REST API in Amazon API Gateway.

Can you do this in a few steps using AWS SAM and Cloud9 IDE?

AWS Lambda is a serverless, event-driven compute service that lets you run code for virtually any type of application or backend service without provisioning or managing servers.

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale.

The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is an open-source framework for building serverless applications. It provides shorthand syntax to express functions, APIs, databases, and event source mappings.

AWS Cloud9 is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you write, run, and debug your code with just a browser. It includes a code editor, debugger, and terminal.

P.S. Why did the AWS Lambda function go to the party? Because it heard there would be plenty of "event-driven" fun!
