# 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](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/aurora_rest_lending_library). **Services used in this example** + API Gateway + Aurora + Lambda + Secrets Manager ------ For a complete list of Amazon SDK developer guides and code examples, see [Using this service with an Amazon SDK](CHAP_Tutorials.md#sdk-general-information-section).
