Description

In this lab challenge, you will need to prove your knowledge of the Serverless framework by creating an authenticated microservice with three functions: one for generating tokens and insert them in a DynamoDB table, one for authenticating the requests, and the last one that sends messages to an SQS queue; you will need to create the DynamoDB table and the SQS queue through the Serverless framework.

The objectives you will need to achieve represent essential skills that a Serverless developer needs to have. You'll be given a desired end state and be required to reach it using your knowledge of the Serverless framework. This lab challenge simulates building a solution in a real-world scenario. As with any real-world scenario, this lab will not guide you through the steps needed to complete it.

Before attempting the challenge, we strongly recommend completing all the Serverless Framework labs.
