Build a REST API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway

In this video I go through API Gateway’s REST API on AWS - I go through a high level explanation of what it’s purpose is / how it works, do a runthrough in the AWS Console and then I show you how to develop your own REST API with AWS SAM - going through each step of creating the REST API from scratch, testing it locally and deploying it to AWS.
Links I mention in the video:
template.yml I used for the demo: gist.github.com/JonnyDavies/c...
app.js I used for the demo:

Great videos! I'm migrating a site over to serverless and it feels like you created this channel specifically to help me understand the difference between the HTTP and REST options and gain insight into developing with SAM. 10/10 would recommend to others. Thank you!

Haha really glad to hear that @VladimirWashington, good luck with the migration 👊

So just to be sure. Pet Store is an API gateway, and the Employee project you made locally, and then "linked" to AWS, is also an API gateway?
