Introducing Wild Rydes, a new, innovative unicorn transportation service using AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon Kinesis to get people to their destination faster and hassle free. You simply open the Wild Rydes app, request a unicorn, and wait for the nearest unicorn to arrive and pick you up. It’s better, faster, safer, and more magical. In this workshop, you learn the foundations of serverless architecture and build a whole, highly scalable app based on serverless microservices.
