A serverless web application reference architecture using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Cognito, demonstrated with a To Do app.
What is lambda-refarch-webapp?
The AWS Lambda Web Application Reference Architecture is a blueprint for building serverless web applications on AWS. It provides a production-ready template that uses AWS Lambda for business logic, Amazon API Gateway for REST APIs, Amazon DynamoDB for data storage, and Amazon Cognito for user authentication. It solves the problem of designing a scalable, secure, and maintainable serverless backend by demonstrating integrated AWS services in a real-world To Do application example.
AWS developers, solutions architects, and DevOps engineers looking to build or understand serverless web applications using AWS services. It's particularly useful for those seeking a reference implementation that follows AWS best practices.
Developers choose this reference architecture because it provides a complete, well-architected example that reduces the learning curve and implementation time for serverless web apps on AWS. It demonstrates service integration, security patterns, and deployment automation using AWS SAM, validated against the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Overview
The Web Application reference architecture is a general-purpose, event-driven, web application back-end that uses AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway for its business logic.
