Aws Serverless

This one covers the practical patterns you need for AWS serverless: Lambda handler structure with proper initialization, API Gateway integration (with good guidance on when to use HTTP vs REST API), DynamoDB access, and SQS event processing. The code examples show the details that matter, like initializing SDK clients outside the handler for reuse and returning proper API Gateway response formats. It follows SAM conventions and includes real advice on cold start optimization and right-sizing resources. The principles section is solid on operational concerns like DLQs, structured logging, and designing for failure. If you're building serverless on AWS beyond toy projects, this gives you patterns that actually work in production.

AWS Serverless

Specialized skill for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS. Covers Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS event-driven patterns, SAM/CDK deployment, and cold start optimization.

Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

Scope and validation

Before deployment confirm account/region, IAM scope, resource changes, data retention and budget. Review the synthesized template/change set and verify in a scoped development environment. Bundled material is documentation only; helper handlers and deployment files shown in snippets are not present or runtime-tested here. Secrets need approved managed storage and least-privilege roles; do not paste credentials into logs.
