Webinar - Getting started with the serverless framework

A live webinar held over Zoom for our open source community to provide a quick demo as to how to put together a CRUD API, including flubs and all.

When the service was deployed at 42:10, why was the zip file 7.13mb in size? What data was being pushed here? The CRUD api code is much much less than 7mb, I would expect a few KB of data only to be pushed during the deploy. Was the node_modules folder included in the push? - Happy to hear an explanation on this

I can't create Fluffykins like at 47:22 I get 500 Internal Server Error. Any fix?

A recommendation: In your presentation when displaying commands on your PC, try to zoom in because the instructions you type cannot be seen.

Very good tutorial, thanks. But I went off the rails near the 44:09 mark, not understanding how the test.http file works. I dug around and installed an add-on called "rest client". Now I have the 'Send Request' clickable texts in the test.http file. But when I click trying to post some json as done in the tutorial, I get error message: "The content type of response is application/json, while response body is not a valid json string". Also not clear if I need to do something with credentials. I'm not clear how to make this work. It's some of these little things, if you are new to it, can eat up half a day playing around. :(

but, why did you map the scanResult.Items array to the same name and age keys?

Noob question: how do npm modules run in Lambda? Does the microVM w/ node runtime execute 'npm install' against a 'package.json' file during a cold boot, or does the entire local 'node_modules' directory get zipped and uploaded during 'serverless deploy'?

1:03:13 Is is SSM or Secrets Manager . SSM is an agent service in EC2

Fairly new to serverless, if I wanted to make an PWA with React I would use amplify yes?

[joseoliveira]

How do you make communication between a service containing an api gateway and another service? How do you keep things modular?

[poojaghosh]

why am I getting this error why deploying using serverless
Y A M L Exception

bad indentation of a mapping entry in at line 47, column 2:

[rickyu]

Why not call the lambda http trigger functions direclty instead of calling api gateway and then have it forwd to the function?

[dave]

Do Lambda functions work only with Dynamo DB?
Can I create a Lambda function that works with JPA and Postgres?

[sourishdutta]

Hi Sir Can You Please tell me how to add schema Model to API gateway Request Parament Properties in serverless.yml ?? Thank you so much you are great (y)

[jnwms]

Why would you return a 404 and not an empty list?

[gmayas]

Comment and question, I observe that you use for this example DynamoDB, which is a noSQL database service, but based on my experience, NoSQL databases are not suitable for professional systems, will you have a similar example but that points to a SQL (Relational) database?
