Series Summary - Part 1 of Implementing a RESTful API on AWS

In this series of articles, I intend to provide a detailed, accurate, and step-by-step explanation of how to implement a RESTful web interface using a stack of Typescript, Node.js, Dynamoose, DynamoDB, Jest, Serverless Framework, AWS, and Amazon Cognito.

The final product includes everything one would expect from a RESTful API, including group-based restrictions on DELETE, PUT and POST operations without the use of custom lambda authorizer functions (yes, this is possible and I'll take you step-by-step through the process).
