ABSTRACT

How to provision modular, cost-efficient serverless infrastructure using Terraform, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.

Serverless Infrastructure as Code with Terraform & AWS Lambda

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) eliminates manual cloud configuration drift. Using Terraform, developers declare serverless cloud resources declaratively.

Terraform Module Structure

resource "aws_lambda_function" "api" {
  function_name = "portfolio-api"
  runtime       = "python3.11"
  handler       = "main.handler"
  role          = aws_iam_role.lambda_exec.arn
}

Benefits of Serverless Architectures

• Zero Idle Costs: Compute scales automatically from 0 to thousands of requests.
• High Availability: Built-in AWS multi-AZ fault tolerance.
