Database driven applications in the cloud

DynamoDB is the serverless key-value ("NoSQL) database in AWS. In this demo we will get familiar with some characteristics of that database and make a DynamoDB table available by a simple web service that is implemented as a AWS Lamdba function.

And here's the first video tutorial on the blog.

I am currently working on a video tutorial about some basic AWS services. I am behind schedule with publishing the first part. But it turned out to be a lot of work to record the showcases and to edit the video. So please be patient. The first video will be about topics like AWS SAM and Lambda functions.  SAM stands for Serverless Application Model. It enables you to deploy and run business logic in the cloud without setup and administration of a middle tear, an application server. After almost decades of dealing with Weblogic, Websphere & Co. this sounds like a promise to me. So see you soon for the encounter of serverless functions on AWS.
