AWS re:Invent 2022 - Building real-world serverless applications with AWS SAM (SVS303)

[@regulardev]

Thanks Eric for this excellent talk. A query: @39.24 "Let AWS SAM name your resources" - if we let sam name dynamodb table resource, how to access them from lambdas? env variables?

[@gbisaga]

I don't completely agree with this, especially as regards DynamoDB. You can pass the table name in to the lambda thru an environment variable. However, do you really want the table (and all the data in it) to go away if the stack is destroyed?

That's some quality content! Thanks Man :)

So we don't need to use terraform code to describe my resources, but just use cloudformation code, right?

[@agendaaaa]

now it would be aws cdk (even less typing) and there is cdktf (CDK for Terraform)

[@gbisaga]

You do NOT want to write CloudFormation yourself. It's a terrible experience, even worse than writing terraform. Use CDK.

Aws, no need to show the speaker. Just show the slides in full screen so it's easier to see. Thanks!

I find it a lot easier to learn when it's not just slides. I prefer to see the speaker.
