AWS Python HTTP API Project using Serverless Framework for scalable, cloud-native serverless applications

Owner: Hina Atif

Project Description

This project demonstrates a Serverless Python HTTP API deployed on AWS using AWS Lambda and API Gateway.
It provides a lightweight, scalable, and cost-efficient backend solution for handling HTTP requests without requiring server management.

Key Benefits:

• Serverless architecture reduces infrastructure management overhead
• Cost-efficient: pay only for actual usage
• Highly scalable and reliable
• Easy to deploy and maintain
• Built-in monitoring via AWS CloudWatch

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Hina-Atif/aws-python-http-api-project.git

Deploy the API using Serverless Framework (if desired):

sls deploy (serverless deploy)

You can access the API endpoints as deployed on AWS (check Serverless output for URLs).
