SAM - Creating a WebApp in AWS Toolkit for VS Code
Summary: Continue with the AWS Toolkit for VSCode for Lambda functions and Step functions.
Date: Around 2019
Refactor: 4 January 2025: Checked links and formatting.
This this page is the follow up from SAM - Combining Lambda and Step Functions in AWS Toolkit for VS Code which was also a follow up from AWS Toolkit for VS Code. We used the AWS Toolkit for VS Code to deploy a Step Functions State Machine and also created a Serverless Application to deploy Lambda functions. Then we created a new SAM to combine these two. Now that we've done that we are going to extend that by creating a frontend for it, we'll create a S3 bucket with a website and then an API Gateway to let the gateway talk to the Step Functions and Lambdas. This is no longer just 10 minute tutorial for Step Functions, we are extending it now. We will try to use the AWS Toolkit as much as we can.

This page is the follow up from AWS Toolkit for VS Code, in which we used the AWS Toolkit for VS Code to deploy a Step Functions State Machine and also created a Serverless Application to deploy Lambda functions. Now that approach was very functional, but not the most efficient. We still had to do some stuff manually, mainly adding the Lambdas ARNs to the Step Function State Machine. On this page we are going to combine these two in one Serverless Application.
Note that we are still doing the 10 minute tutorial for Step Functions
Note that we continue this story in SAM - Creating a WebApp in AWS Toolkit for VS Code
