JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

AWS Amplify allows developers to create, configure, and deploy Serverless APIs and functions directly from their front-end environment.In this collection, you'll learn how to deploy various types of APIs and functions using the Amplify CLI. You'll also learn how to share code among various functions using Lambda layers and schedule functions to run at an interval to implement Serverless cron jobs.

If you are looking to further your understanding of AWS, check out Nader's course [Building Serverless Web Applications with React & AWS Amplify](https://egghead.io/courses/building-serverless-web-applications-with-react-aws-amplify)

In this video you will learn how to create and deploy a serverless Node.js API to AWS using the Amplify CLI, Amplify Functions, and the Amplify API category. Once the API is deployed, you will test it out from the command line and see the response in your terminal using CURL.
