In this tutorial, we will learn how set up a serverless project using the Serverless Framework by building a sample GraphQL to-do API. We’ll use AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, and AppSync) as our backend-as-a-service (BaaS).

As software projects continue to grow more complex, choosing the right architecture for your project at the outset is a crucial decision. Breaking down your project into smaller and more understandable components has many benefits, making it much easier to:

• Reason about new features
• Navigate the codebase
• Quickly develop new features
• Write tests for components
• Apply the single-responsibility principle due to easy separation of concerns

One such architecture that can be used to achieve these benefits is the serverless architecture (also known as serverless computing or FaaS — function-as-a-service).
