How to Build a REST API with AWS API Gateway and Lambda in Python
🚀 Learn how to build a REST API on AWS using API Gateway and Lambda (Python)!
In this video, I walk you through how to create a fully functional REST endpoint using Amazon API Gateway backed by an AWS Lambda function—no traditional servers required.
We start by creating a simple Lambda function and writing a Python handler. Then, I show you how to set up a public-facing resource in API Gateway and connect it to your Lambda. Finally, we test the setup by sending requests directly from the browser and confirming that the Lambda function responds correctly.
Whether you're new to AWS or just looking to understand API Gateway + Lambda integration, this is the perfect hands-on walkthrough.
