Explore of AWS Application Composer with Resources

“ I have checked the documents of AWS to build a project which contains multiple resources and creates the template on its own. So I got the AWS Application Composer as a solution. Pricing of AWS Application Composer is free of cost.”

AWS Application Composer is a visual designer platform that you can use to build your serverless applications from multiple AWS services. Use to design your application architecture by selecting, integrating and defining AWS resources on a canvas. As you design, this automatically develops your infrastructure as code (IaC) templates, following AWS best practices.

Some features of AWS Application Composer - Drag and drop, Serverless application architecture, Editing and configuration, Streamline common task, Generate deployment ready configuration, Synchronize architecture diagram, Cloudformation and Editable visualization.

In this post, you will get to know how to explore of aws application composer with resources. Here I have used resources as an api gateway, lambda functions and dynamodb table.
