Going Serverless with C# on AWS
.NET is a primarily backend technology, but being backend does not mean only running on web servers. With over 200 services, AWS has a multitude of ways you can build, manage and monitor entirely serverless back end applications, and best of all, you can do it in .NET.
In this session we are going to cover AWS Lambda, Step Functions and API Gateway in .NET. I'll also show you the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio and show you how serverless development in .NET can feel just as “out the box” as anything involving servers or containers. You will need an AWS account and have downloaded credentials (access key/secret) to join in with this workshop.
