In this blog post, we’ll continue our exploration of AWS Serverless deployments with CDK v2 by focusing on Lambda functions.

We’ll explore how to create and integrate these functions into our architecture along with a crucial step of granting permissions to resources that are deployed within the stack.

Weekend projects often come and go, but on the rare occasion, one does stand out that is truly worth documenting.

In this multi-part blog series I invite you to join me on a journey into the realm of AWS serverless architecture deployments with CDK v2.

Together, we’ll embark on a fascinating exploration - from harvesting RSS feeds to crafting X Posts.

Throughout this series, we’ll explore how to set up a serverless solution that automatically gathers information from an RSS feed, extracts the important details from XML and saves them efficiently in a DynamoDB table.

Plus, we’ll see how new entries in our DynamoDB table invokes a Lambda function to create X Posts using DynamoDB Streams.
