Creating Your API with BoxLang in AWS Lambda

Description

BoxLang’s small footprint and rapid startup time has opened up new possibilities for developers to rapidly create apis and other applications as an AWS Lambda function. This new paradigm allows the power of BoxLang to be used in a environment which is serverless, convenient and whose billable uptime is measured in milliseconds rather an hours.

In this session we will use the BoxLang AWS Template to create a Lambda Function which, despite the name, can be an entire API and not just a simple function as we would normally think of it. This API will include using custom BoxLang code, database access, routing, using additional BoxLang modules as well as modules from Forgebox, calls to other APIs and more.
