Description:

This live-coding session will guide you through the process of migrating an existing Flask application to AWS Lambda.

We will analyze the existing application, decompose it into individual microservices, adapt authentication, frontend, tests, and data model, and finally deploy it to the Cloud.

Throughout this step-by-step process, you will learn the benefits of serverless and how it will improve the way we think of scalability, availability, security, infrastructure management, and cost optimization.

Prerequisites:

The basics of web development and some cloud fundamentals.
