Hi guys,
Iā€™ve followed your tutorial through to setting up the endpoints, skimmed ahead on the front-end stuff, and gone through the source code. I donā€™t see anything about Lambda in here at all. Am I missing something?
thanks.

Whole back end api is based on lambdas, this tut using serverless framework to create lambdas. Just spend 1-2 hrs and finish back end part of this tutorial and you will see lambdas in action. This is best tut ever! Thanks guys for making it.

Ah I see. Setting up Administrator Access means we donā€™t have to explicitly setup Lambda access. I didnā€™t deploy but now have so the functions have been created and can see them.
Yes great tutorial Thanks!

@deepseafishing Oh we didnā€™t really make it into an app here. We just added the web app to our home screen. But since we set the icons properly earlier in the tutorial, it shows up pretty nicely on our home screen.

Great tutorial. Thanks!

For anyone who might be interested, Iā€™ve refactored the React client to use Redux, with a README.md and the refactored code up at https://github.com/pjamieson/iartx-serverless-client. Comments and suggestions welcome.

@pjamieson That looks pretty good! Iā€™ll check it out in detail and share it with the rest of community.

Thanks, Jay. The code (still a work-in-progress) is deployed at https://dev.iartx.com https://dev.iartx.com/.

This is the best material to get started w/ serverless in aws. Thank you guys!

Amazing tutorial. The amount of detail that goes into this tutorial is simply amazing. Taking into account all the little things I wanted, like www redirects, cache, scripts to make deploying easy, serverless framework for the api, https, redirecting urls to where you need to go if your session timed out!! (you didnā€™t even have to cover this), but its amazing that you did! Simply the best tutorial I have ever read. In fact so much so, I would like permission to create a set of videos (giving you guys credit of course), to help explain it further given the particular troubles I went through. I have a tutorial video youtube thing I am doing. Let me know if this is okay :).

I became a patron for you guys to help you out also :). Let me know if you ever need help.

I wanted to note that a chapter on SEO is very critical since React renders with javascript the search engines canā€™t find the text on the page. Could you write a chapter on this topic (pretty please :slight_smile: ), since i think its equally as important as some of the other points that were given.

From @jayair on Mon Nov 13 2017 00:00:04 GMT+0000 (UTC)

@x11joe Thanks for the kind words and support. It means a lot!

I think adding more detail through a video would be very helpful. Especially if you can build on the tutorial and add your perspective. We would love to link to it in the tutorial. I know one of our other readers is also working on a video series. You can take a look at it if you need some ideas or inspiration - https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-stack-com/issues/152.

You guys should have a chapter on costs. This should compare the cost of running this type of infrastructure over running a lamp/lemp type server setup. I know they are not comparable because of scale, but for a small to medium sized site I think the serverless architecture ends up being more expensive.

From @jayair on Wed Nov 22 2017 18:54:29 GMT+0000 (UTC)

@rtorcato We do a quick calculation on the cost of running this tutorial app in this chapter here - https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/why-create-serverless-apps.html. For very large sites Serverless can be more expensive but for small to medium it is a lot cheaper. This has been true in our experience and here is some simple analysis on this - https://www.trek10.com/blog/lambda-cost/

Guys I get this message when I try to login : UnexpectedParameter : Unexpected key ā€˜UserContextDataā€™ found in params, any idea ?

This is the version of libraries:

"amazon-cognito-identity-js": "^1.27.0",
"aws-sdk": "^2.157.0"

From @jayair on Sat Dec 02 2017 18:42:53 GMT+0000 (UTC)

@Ajacs Which step of the tutorial is causing this issue for you?

From @SpencerGreene on Sat Dec 16 2017 06:53:10 GMT+0000 (UTC)

I will second and third the comments here - a great tutorial, well written and thorough.

If you were going to add anything else, Iā€™d suggest a ā€œforgot passwordā€ chapter, since that would show how to send the user an email. And a +1 on the SEO comment above!

I didnā€™t run any tests during this tutorial, and by the end of it, the standard create-react-app tests are broken for me. Running ā€œnpm testā€ yields:

> notes-app-client@0.1.0 test /Users/Bazo/serverlessReact/notes-app-client
> react-scripts test --env=jsdom

On the Jest and Facebook GH issues they suggest changing the npm command from

    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",

to

    "test": "jest",

which then yields a different error:

npm test                                                                                                         āŽ

It seems to be a problem with babel maybe? It has a problem with the JSX caret symbol. When I run a brand new create-react-app and run ā€˜npm testā€™, tests work fine. Iā€™m using latest npm. Iā€™ve tried deleting node_modules, package.json.lock and reinstalling them, but the problem is still there. Anyone else having this issue? (Great tutorial by the way, I think adding one test at the end to show that tests work would make it stronger).

From @jayair on Wed Apr 04 2018 22:29:07 GMT+0000 (UTC)

@iggiFW Iā€™m seeing a different error on my end but yeah tests are something weā€™ll add at some point. Iā€™m not entirely sure why you are seeing a JSX related error.

Hey, just wanted you guys to know that the https://serverless-stack.com/#tools link is no longer pointing to any section on the homepage. No mas tools section.
