Please do not cut videos. I spent hours figuring out the npm and plugin installation, and the directory where to put the serverless.yml

Hi there, your videos are really helpful to learn and deploy. Please make a video on serverless API gateway(python) AWS lambda authorizer(python based) to connect with Amplify front-end application. Looking forward to watching more videos on your youtube channel. The ci/cd section is repeated in each video, which increases the video length. Except that the remaining content is really awesome.

A more detailed explanation on the Deployment and setting up the required env. would have been helpful.

i'm missing the part where you actually deploy the project to aws lambda. Would be helpful :D

Great video. Thanks for uploading. How would you create a layer on a lambda based on the requirements.txt file?

The layer should contain all the dependencies inside the requirements file and the the lambda should use that layer. The documentation isn't clear on this.

Great video @Jackson Yuan. Question though, how did you generate the package.json file @ 11:30? Thanks. Looking forward to more videos.
