Introduction
If you are looking at the state of software development you can see that serverless is starting to go mainstream. As complexity grows in software and more integration are introduced to produce a more dynamic and effective application you are bound to need more tooling.
In this article, I want to introduce Architect a serverless framework that might make you think again when looking at going serverless. Architect is opinionated serverless framework that focuses on reducing complexity of working with multiple aws cloud services. It prioritizes speed with fast local dev, smart configurable defaults and flexible infrastructure as code. When you see the config file you should be able to tell what is going on and what resources are available. Architect supports multiple runtimes, but for the sake of simplicity and because in Sibi we primarily use node.js.
In this introduction to Architect, we will be building creating a REST endpoint that takes user data converts it into QR code and sends email out using SESwith my url.
