AWS Lambda is a service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that lets you run your code in response to events without managing servers. It’s a simple and scalable way to build applications.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use AWS Lambda with three other services:
Amazon S3 for storing files, images, and videos
Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) for sending notifications
Amazon EventBridge for scheduling messages
We’ll go through everything step by step.
By the end, with the integration of the other services, you will have built a Goal Manifestation Quote App that sends random inspirational messages to keep you motivated and focused on your goals.
