S2E4: Operating AWS Lambda Functions

This week, From Cover to Code is digging into chapter 4 of Programming with AWS Lambda. We rolled up our sleeves and got into the real stuff:

📦 Built and packaged Lambda functions + dependencies in a clean, reproducible way
⚙️ Used AWS SAM to define infrastructure as code (hello, YAML!)
🔐 Broke down IAM for Lambda: execution roles and resource policies
🛡️ Applied least privilege with minimal config—SAM makes it smooth!

If you’ve ever struggled with packaging dependencies or writing IAM policies from scratch, this chapter is your new best friend.
