Nader Dabit - Building Serverless Web Applications with AWS / FRONTEND CON 2018 HD

FRONTEND CON 2018 www.frontend-con.io Talk: Building Serverless Web Applications with AWS Building a modern production-ready web application requires many basic yet sophisticated features. Traditionally, back-end developers built out the services that the app needed, while front-end developers built the UI & provided the glue between the back-end & the UI. With the recent innovations in managed services, it’s now possible for a single front-end developer to move further up the stack & build out a complete full-stack application by leveraging comprehensive managed services that take care of things like authentication, analytics, an API layer, & storage among other things. In this talk, I’ll introduce the AWS Amplify. AWS Amplify combines a CLI (that allows developers to quickly scaffold cloud enabled services like user-signin, a GraphQL API, Lambda functions, analytics, & even AR & VR services) with an SDK that provides a consistent front-end API to interact with these managed services and implement them into their JavaScript application. I’ll show how a front-end developer can easily & significantly increase their existing skillset by utilizing these managed services, building out a full-featured full-stack web application from scratch in just a few short minutes.
