## What it is
A tutorial repository teaching how to use AWS Lambda to build scalable serverless micro-services, covering Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS, and API Gateway. The notes were written between 2015 and 2021 and are no longer current with the latest Lambda UI, though most code examples still work.

## Use cases
- learn how to use aws lambda
- build serverless web services on aws
- create scalable microservices with lambda
- understand api gateway with lambda
- offload processing to lambda functions
- learn dynamodb and sns with lambda

## When to choose
- you want a beginner-friendly introduction to AWS Lambda concepts
- you need simple, working code examples for Lambda functions
- you want to learn how to invoke Lambda via URLs without API Gateway

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date documentation matching the current Lambda console UI
- you want a production framework or deployment tool rather than a tutorial
- you plan to build a complex full serverless application (the authors advise against it)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: serverless, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: cloud-computing, tutorials, developer-tools, backend
- platform: cloud
- tags: aws-lambda, serverless, tutorial, api-gateway, dynamodb, microservices, nodejs
