Serverless Workshop

This repository aims to help you comprehend the usage of the serverless framework and determine its suitability for your particular use case.

Steps to Follow for Participating in the Workshop

To understand the code changes that introduce new features and functionalities, it is recommended that you start by checking out the first branch and completing the objective on your own. Afterward, you can proceed to the next branch. The git diff feature can be utilized to identify the specific changes made to the codebase, thereby facilitating an easier understanding of the process.
