An AWS serverless reference architecture implementing a general-purpose event-driven web application backend using Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Cognito, with static frontend hosting on AWS Amplify Console. It ships as a deployable To Do example app with an AWS SAM template.
Use cases
- build a serverless web app backend on AWS
- learn how to wire Lambda with API Gateway and DynamoDB
- add user registration and authentication with Cognito
- deploy a full-stack app with an AWS SAM template
- host a React static site on AWS Amplify Console
- use a reference architecture for event-driven REST APIs
When to choose
- you want a proven AWS-native serverless blueprint to start from
- you need JWT-based user auth and per-user data isolation out of the box
- you prefer infrastructure-as-code deployment via SAM
- you're evaluating serverless patterns for a small-to-medium web backend
When to avoid
- you're not deploying on AWS
- you need long-running compute or relational databases
- you want a production application rather than a reference example
- you need frameworks outside the Lambda/API Gateway/DynamoDB ecosystem
