Porting your Node.js app to serverless in 30 minutes

on YouTube ↗01h 02m

" summary

Live-codes an Express application into AWS Lambda, replaces server-rendered page with an S3 static site, and exposes a JSON POST via API Gateway; uses AWS SAM for template + CloudFormation, packages and deploys with sam package / sam deploy, and keeps tight IAM scope. The demo actually Express → AWS Lambda in 30 minutes, shows AWS SAM package + deploy and writes to DynamoDB and publishes to SNS/SQS, and the deployment succeeds end-to-end.
