Create a lending library REST API

The following code example shows how to create a lending library where patrons can borrow and return books by using a REST API backed by an Amazon Aurora database.

Python
SDK for Python (Boto3)

Shows how to use the Amazon SDK for Python (Boto3) with the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) API and Amazon Chalice to create a REST API backed by an Amazon Aurora database. The web service is fully serverless and represents a simple lending library where patrons can borrow and return books. Learn how to:

  • Create and manage a serverless Aurora database cluster.

  • Use Amazon Secrets Manager to manage database credentials.

  • Implement a data storage layer that uses Amazon RDS to move data into and out of the database.

  • Use Amazon Chalice to deploy a serverless REST API to Amazon API Gateway and Amazon Lambda.

  • Use the Requests package to send requests to the web service.

For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on GitHub.
