Custom Domains (5) - Serverless Node.js - AWS Lambda Complete Guide
Chances are you want to connect a custom domain to your backend services. I personally like to go with the format of api.my-domain.com. This process sounds easy, but is actually not that trivial. I will walk you through the necessary steps to connect a custom domain to your deployed server.
AWS Lambda offers you a way not to worry about server infrastructure any more. You simply upload your code and they handle the rest. This is called serverless compute, which brings Edge optimization out of the box. That means that your traffic is being served from the nearest geographic (edge) location. In my opinion, this is a great way to build fast and reliable backend infrastructures and this might as well be my go-to architecture moving forward!
As a nice bonus, AWS Lambda comes with auto-scaling and you only pay for the traffic that you receive. There is no stale server running at all times. This comes in very handy for test or staging environments or even for production servers that do not have a lot of traffic (yet, hopefully). All while still delivering amazing performance.
In this video series, we will go through the whole process of setting up a basic Node.js project with [https://github.com/vendia/serverless-...](https://github.com/vendia/serverless-..., adjusting their starter template, creating multiple environments, connecting custom domains as well as setting up automatic Deployments with GitHub Actions!
This is surely quite a lot to take in, but I'm sure it's worth the effort.
To get started, you will need the following:
Node.js installed
AWS Account
AWS CLI installed (I forgot to mentioned this in the Video)
GitHub Account
