This service helps you manage blog posts using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. You can create blog posts, retrieve details of specific posts, get a list of all posts, and delete posts. The API is designed to be scalable, secure, and easy to use with a custom domain and SSL certificate. The entire infrastructure is provisioned using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) as Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
This diagram illustrates the overall architecture of the service. The entry point is the API Gateway, which has four endpoints. Each endpoint triggers a corresponding Lambda function that interacts with DynamoDB.
