Nathan Rozentals

Nathan Rozentals has been writing commercial software for over 30 years, in C, C++, Java and C#. He picked up TypeScript within a week after its initial release in October 2012 and realized how much TypeScript could help when writing JavaScript. He was one of the first people to start blogging about TypeScript, discussing early frameworks such as Backbone, Marionette, ExtJS and AngularJs. He knew he'd hit the mark when Microsoft staff started to reference his blog posts in their CodePlex discussion forums. Nathan's TypeScript solutions now control User Interfaces in IoT devices, run as stand-alone applications for Point-of-Sale solutions, provide complex application configuration web sites, and are used for mission-critical server APIs.

We will then deploy this application to the cloud, again using the command-line interface.

AWS Lambda architecture

Before we go ahead and build a Lambda function, let's explore the pieces of the AWS architecture that we will use in order to respond to a web request. These elements are shown in the following diagram:

Here, we start with a client request, on the far left-hand side of the diagram. This request takes the form of an HTTP request for a GET call on the /users API endpoint. The first architectural element that will respond to this request is Amazon API Gateway. Amazon API Gateway is an AWS service that is used...
