Build Your First Serverless API with AWS Lambda

What if your backend didn’t need a server at all?

Join the University of Guelph AWS Student Builder Group for a hands-on workshop where you’ll go from zero to a live API in one evening. You’ll write a function, deploy it to AWS Lambda, and get a public URL you can call from anywhere. That’s a real backend, built by you.

**What you’ll learn**

* What serverless means and why teams use it

* How to write and deploy a Lambda function

* How to expose it as an API with a function URL

* How pay-per-use pricing works (and why it costs nothing when idle)

**Who it’s for**

Anyone curious about cloud. No prior AWS or backend experience needed. If you’ve written a bit of code before, you’re ready.

**Details**

* Thursday, October 29, 6:00 to 8:00 PM

* UC 001A, PCH North, University of Guelph

* Free, and pizza is on us

**What to bring**

* A laptop

* An AWS account (sign up ahead of time at aws.amazon.com so we can jump straight into building)
