Modernize a .NET Windows Service to AWS Lambda

Hi, I'm James. In this video, we will look at how you can modernize your Windows Service built with .NET Framework to run on AWS Lambda.

Windows Services are a common way to build background processing systems. When sourced with a queue, it provides a resilient way to process messages asynchronously.

When each message is treated as an individual unit of work this is an ideal scenario to migrate to a serverless service like AWS Lambda. Each message is processed independently, providing a highly scalable and resilient way of processing your messages.

This is a seriously great tutorial! It's kind of amazing how quick you can go from .NET framework to running on AWS natively with Lambda! Thank you for this
