Build low-cost, low-maintenance, highly available, serverless single page web applications that scale at the click of a button. Quickly create reliable, well-tested single page apps that stay up and running 24/7 using Amazon Web Services. Avoid messing around with middle-tier infrastructure and get right to the web app your customers want.

Using a web browser, a prepared workspace, and your favorite editor, build a complete single page web application, step by step. Create lean web applications that take advantage of the newest technologies. Deploy your application using Amazon S3. Use Amazon Cognito to connect with providers to manage user identities. Read and write user data directly from the browser using DynamoDB, and build your own scalable custom microservices with Amazon Lambda.

You can easily apply or adapt this simple approach to building serverless web applications for your own projects.


“Ben walks through just the right mix of JavaScript to build client-side logic, Cognito for authentication and authorization, and Lambda for more sensitive features. JavaScript developers will find new ways to do typically server-side functions, and will finish the book with a working serverless app that costs next to nothing to run.”
