AWS Serverless Application Project
Explore how to build serverless applications on AWS Lambda using ASP.NET Core and C#. Understand the project setup, key dependencies, and how to implement web API endpoints that run efficiently in a serverless AWS Lambda environment.
We'll cover the following...
What does a serverless application look like?
A serverless application can contain more than one function handler and perform several different functionalities. When it comes to .NET, a serverless application is an ASP.NET Core web application hosted within AWS. Usually, it can be launched as a standard ASP.NET Core web application.

}A serverless ASP.NET Core application works differently than other AWS Lambda application types. Here’s a diagram of the flow.
Essentially, it works the same way as any other ASP.NET Core web application. The key differences are that it’s hosted in an AWS Lambda environment and it’s serverless. We have a standard web application that can dynamically scale ...
