Workshop summary
During this workshop, you will learn how the cloud can be used to quickly and cheaply build a backend application. This is especially useful for the rapid prototyping required during a hackathon. After a short overview of different cloud providers and some tricks to ensure you stay in control of your budget, you will build your first Lambda function on AWS. In a second step, this function will be extended and combined with other serverless services.
At the end of the workshop, we’ll cover possible tools and the next steps to improve further your first draft of your cloud-native backend application.

Participants should already have a general understanding of programming in at least one language (e.g. Python, Node.js, Java).

Material needed

• Laptop and charger
• If possible already create an AWS account which will then be used for the practical exercises
