Develop Lambdas Locally in VS Code Using AWS SAM | AWS Lambda Tutorial

Thank you so much! Some feedback on the video: the video was very clear on what to do, very well-spoken, very calm, the format was amazing as well.
However one small thing that may help future viewers: I actually created a lambda function before watching this video and made the first few changes in the in-built code editor on the aws website. Which was a bad experience.
So I did not have a template.yaml, which meant i could not use the "sam build" command, as it would throw an error. Instead what I realised I could do is:
thru the aws extension in vs code, click on "Lambda" to expand it, find my lambda function, right click on it and select "upload lambda". Then select "Directory", then "Yes", choose the folder containing your js script, and select ok/confirm. This will update the code in the backend to match the code in your VS Code instance.

very concise tutorial. helped a lot!

Great stuff man :)

Thanks for the super helpful introduction! I have a question: How do you get your local copy updated if you make a change in the AWS console UI? E.g. someone just made a "quick fix", is there a resync operation or pull from AWS?

great vocalization!

short, concise, and super helpful, thank you so much for this!

Great video to begin with. I am having a small issue, after running the san build command, I am not able to see HelloWorld function under .aws-sam. I am doing my runtime in Python3.8, so is that because of this?

Can we run locally without docker?

Thanks. Good explanation

Nice one man, can i do same in python, without using docker?

Great video mate. Earned a sub :) BTW, please make a video on how to locally debug an existing Lambda functions and bring it to VSCode. Cheers!

nice video quality Jon. underrated channel in youtub'e shit algorithm

good work, thank you for the intro

Excellent vid, thank you.

Do you know if there is a way to configure your AWS lambda account, to tell Amazon a max dollar amount you want to spend, and then if you accidentally exceed that amount with your resources, they either immediately notify you, or just simply shut down your site? I'd prefer it works that way.

I'd hate to get a big surprise bill from amazon, because I didn't know my code was very inefficient, and the code was spending too much time during a function invocation.

Great video!!

Questions:
1) I want to implement least privilege and am currently adding the permissions one by one according to the CloudFormation error logs outlining whatever permissions are still missing. Is there a way to figure out which permissions are required to deploy this CloudFormation stack (i.e., sam for lambda)?

2) The "outputs" section of template.yaml states that an API gateway endpoint will be created along with the Lambda instance and IAM role. Is it possible to change the default outputs, say, not creating an API Gateway endpoint since I want to invoke Lambda using the functional URL instead of the API Gateway?

Thanks for the great video! This is very helpful... but I do have one question I couldn't find an answer to, and I'll be happy to see a video that covers it: Is it possible to create multiple lambda functions within the same project (and deploy them)? If so - how? I have an API with multiple endpoints, and it does not make sense to create a new project for each endpoint... or is it?

Great explanation, Thank you.🙂

Please make a video on "How to create serverless application by using AWS-SAM, LAMBDA, API-Gateway, any DB(like dynamoDB or mongoDB etc..) and it also includes swagger file by using nodeJS.

Wow!!

nice tutorial. much appreciated. do I need to delete everything to prevent any charges?

My worry is this is extra steps that the cicd pipeline should take care of.

Great work! Thank you.

Great job man👍

great tutorial man! Expecting more contents in SAM-AWS

Thanks. I have a question about how the template.yaml configuration would be if instead of using api gateway use alb ?

Wow, that tutorial was awesome! Simple and clear! A similar one but with CDK would be great. Thank you very much! I hope you get many more subscribers. The content, video format, quality and explanation are incredible.

Thanks bro ❤

Perfectly Demonstrated !!!
