n this video, I want to share the approach I use regularly to develop AWS Lambda functions (and other serverless projects) locally in VS Code using the benefits of AWS's secret sauce, SAM.

AWS SAM, or Serverless Application Model, is a framework that makes managing your serverless AWS service easy. Using the CLI was can create Lambda functions locally, test them, update them, and deploy them, all from our favorite code editor (mine being VS Code).

In this video, we'll create a simple AWS Lambda function locally and I'll show you how to manage it all from your local dev environment.
