AWS Serverless Application Model ( SAM ) - 1 Hr Crash Course

🚀 AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) - 1 Hr Crash Course 📚

Unlock the Potential of Serverless with AWS SAM!

🔍 Course Headline: Master the AWS Serverless Application Model Architecture Framework, Master SAM CI/CD, and Build a NodeJs Lambda Function Example with DevOps & Cloud Best Practices! 🌟

Course Description:

The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) is revolutionizing the way we build serverless applications. As an open-source framework, SAM simplifies the design and deployment of serverless solutions by providing a concise YAML syntax that expresses functions, APIs, databases, and event source mappings in just a few lines.

Why SAM? 🤔

• Single-Deployment Configuration: Organize your application components for easy deployment as a single, versioned stack. Share configurations between resources and deploy them together effortlessly.

• Local Debugging and Testing: Use the SAM CLI to simulate Lambda execution locally, enabling you to find and troubleshoot issues before they surface in the cloud environment.

• Deep Integration with Development Tools: Enhance your development experience with a suite of tools compatible with SAM:

  • IDEs: PyCharm, IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, AWS Cloud9
  • Build: AWS CodeBuild
  • Deploy: AWS CodeDeploy, Jenkins
  • Continuous Delivery Pipelines: AWS CodePipeline
  • Discover Serverless Apps & Patterns: AWS Serverless Application Repository

• Built-in Best Practices: Enforce and define best practices within your infrastructure as code. Facilitate safe deployments with CodeDeploy, and integrate tracing with AWS X-Ray.

• Extension of AWS CloudFormation: SAM is an extension of the reliable AWS CloudFormation service. It leverages all the features of CloudFormation, such as resources, intrinsic functions, and template capabilities.

Diving Deeper into Serverless: 🤿

Using AWS SAM for serverless application development can significantly cut down on time spent by eliminating much of the boilerplate typically required in AWS CloudFormation templates. It extends CFN with new resource types that follow AWS best practices and are more user-friendly. The SAM CLI also generates code based on templates from online repositories, streamlining your development process.

A serverless application might utilize DynamoDB tables, S3 object storage, and Amazon API Gateway resources. AWS SAM introduces a new simplified syntax to describe these components, making the template (YAML or JSON) significantly shorter than a standard CloudFormation file. AWS SAM is an extension of CloudFormation specifically tailored for serverless applications.
