Serverless
Template to build a serverless app deployed to AWS. Features a React SPA deployed to AWS S3, an Express.js based API deployed to AWS Lambda, with both connected and served over AWS CloudFront, all configured using the AWS CDK.
Overview
Serverless is an innovative template designed to simplify the process of building serverless applications on AWS. By leveraging powerful AWS services, developers can create robust applications that are highly scalable and cost-effective. This template is particularly useful for those looking to deploy a seamless and efficient serverless setup without getting bogged down in configuration complexities.
The integration of a React Single Page Application (SPA) with an Express.js API allows users to enjoy a modern front-end experience combined with a flexible back-end solution. By using AWS CDK for configurations, this template provides a streamlined approach to deploying applications, making it an excellent choice for both new and experienced developers.
