  • Create a DynamoDB table to store and manage structured data
  • Build Lambda functions that perform CRUD operations against DynamoDB
  • Configure API Gateway resources, methods, and Lambda proxy integrations
  • Deploy a REST API stage and test all CRUD endpoints end-to-end

Who is this lab for?

This lab is designed for:

  • Cloud engineers preparing for the AWS SAA-C03 certification
  • Developers building serverless applications on AWS
  • Solutions architects designing API-driven backends
