How to deploy Express Server on AWS Lambda

Trying to deploy an express server to AWS lambda can be difficult if you don't have a lot of experience with AWS services or if you have never used serverless-http. In this video, I walk you through deploying your express server to a Lambda function and explain the process to show how simple it can actually be.

Tips:
- Make sure you aren't using the base express route. API Gateway will not route this to our lambda function

The deployment package of your Lambda function "hotelS3" is too large to enable inline code editing. However, you can still invoke your function.

This was super clear and helpful! Thank you :) Things seem to be connected on my end, but there's a CORS error that won't go away. any idea? (I enabled it in the gateway)

Hi Vini, thanks for the video! Question, I have a simple Node project that connects to the Binance API using a WebSocket, I want to use AWS to keep the Node project running in the cloud instead of my PC. What should I use? Just a Lambda Function? thanks

This is weird I deployed my express server on vercel cloud serverless once and it was working without any issue. Am I to assume that they change the code base automatically?

Hello! I'm trying to deploy my server. I'm using Prisma, express with routes and controllers with it.
For my client-side i'm using React.

Does this deployment method works for me?

I see serverless-http is no longer being maintained?
