Serverless Application with AWS Lambda & API Gateway

The goal of this project was to build a cost-effective, fully serverless web application that could handle high traffic with minimal operational overhead.

I designed and deployed a URL shortener service using AWS Lambda as the compute layer, Dynmo DB as storage and API Gateway as the entry point for requests. Data persistence was managed with DynamoDB, ensuring high availability and scalability without the need for manual provisioning.

To enhance security and performance, I integrated IAM-based access control and optimized the Lambda function for low latency. Infrastructure was automated using Terraform, enabling reproducible deployments and easy scalability.

The result was a lightweight, highly available, and pay-per-use application that demonstrates how serverless architectures can simplify development while reducing costs.
