Developing Express.js-based Serverless Framework APIs

Today is the third installment of my Twenty Projects in Twenty Days series! We’ll be following up from yesterday’s post on creating a serverless Flask API on AWS by doing the same thing with Node.js and Express.js!

We’ll be using Express.js, Amazon Web Services, and the Serverless Framework to create a survey API to manage the same three entities as yesterday:

  • Customers
  • Surveys
  • Survey Responses

We’ll also be using the same data storage architecture as last time by using an Amazon DynamoDB table. Similarly, we’re keeping around the same Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda architecture. So let’s get to it!

Twenty Projects in Twenty Days

This May, I’ll be sharing 20 different starter projects that I’ve built using different AWS services, Serverless technologies, Python, Node.js and more! If you’d like to get these projects in your inbox, you can sign up for my mailing list here.

After signing up, you’ll get blog posts delivered to your inbox with the following:

  • Every project’s source code
  • An accompanying blog post tutorial for the project
  • Access to a live version of the project (if one exists)
  • A free 30-day trial to all of my Pluralsight.com courses (reply to the first welcome email and I’ll send a unique trial code your way)

You can check back on this blog post throughout the month - I’ll update it with links to everything. Now let’s take a look at the calendar of different projects you can expect to see this month!

I’m thrilled to announce that my latest Pluralsight course is here!

In my new course, Using the Serverless Framework on AWS with Node.js, I’ve put together an introduction to the Serverless Framework that should be suited to anyone interested in learning more about serverless tools and technologies.
