Building an AWS Serverless Application with Terraform
summary
Claims that a full AWS serverless API can be provisioned and versioned from code and deployed in minutes using Terraform. Demonstrates a working stack: Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB (three Lambdas: create, get, email), SNS→SQS fan‑out, SES email identity, and CI that runs Terraform with an S3 remote state. Uses Terraform modules to shrink repetitive Lambda configs; deploys successfully (API responses and test emails confirm it works).
