This pattern demonstrates how to develop a typical web application in a serverless architecture, for developers and development leads who are beginning to test DevOps practices on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It builds a sample application that creates a storefront and backend for browsing and purchasing books, and provides a microservice that can be developed independently. The pattern uses AWS Cloud9 as a development environment, an Amazon DynamoDB database as a data store, and AWS services such as AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) functionality.
