Building a Serverless REST API in .NET with AWS Lambda

This video is sponsored by AWS

Hello everybody I'm Nick and in this video I will show you how you can build a completely serverless REST API in .NET using AWS Lambda. It is as simple as taking an existing REST API and adding A SINGLE LINE OF CODE! That being said, I do want to give some context so in this video we will also see how we got there.

Whats rly funny is that Nick does so much for Microsoft in general.
Microsoft: 👀
Amazon: Lets give this man some money

I am really impressed that with just a single line of code we can turn a webapi application into a serverless lambda. nice work from AWS team

i just got a job writing REST APIs with Lambda, this video is the perfect primer. You rock Nick! :D

You are an alien man. Writing and speaking without any hesitation, just phenomenal. Kudos!

[PereViader]

You are a legend.

I had to step back a bit to grab this concept: "Serverless is a cloud-native development model that allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage servers. There are still servers in serverless, but they are abstracted away from app development."

I've build many API's like this but not using AWS Lambdas, but Azure Functions. It's indeed dirt cheap, you can even set up availablitiy checks for your API's and log everything while barely spending money.

Could you make a video or leave a comment about how you find new things to learn/what resource you use/what you follow and what's your proceess for learning new things? I'd be really interested because it always seems like you're on top of everything. Thank you!

AWS sponsorship! Big things! :) All the best on your new career path!

Thanks! Do you plan on releasing a REST API course ? Love your previous three courses.

Would really love to see a comparison between durable Azure Functions vs AWS step functions. I think the AWS part would nicely complement this video.

[BrunoJuliao]

All the videos you suggested sounds cool. I would enjoy watching them 😇

[Xblade-Dev]

Thanks for doing this in Rider, the best IDE :)

[TroyCSchmidt]

Yes to testing and infrastructure as code!!

[HenriqueGraca]

Hey Nick, great content as always. I think there is an error on you example (at least that is the only way that worked for me), When you configure the function-handler, it should be . (period) instead of : (colon) between SimpleApi and Functions, the working string EDIT: I see you fixed it during the video :)

Can you make tutorial on Orleans with AWS or Azure database?

[aarzoomanoosi]

Please list down all AWS policies that we needed to allow the access to deploy this lambda function

[olegkot]

Could you show something like this via Azure?

[alphaios]

Hey, Nick. Could you please share your oh my posh theme? Maybe a repo that you could link in the description?

My company has invested heavily in Azure, can you demonstrate a serverless app with Azure Functions?
