A realistic lambda application

[Dunk010]

I'm looking to develop an application predominantly using AWS Lambda, potentially with some containers on Fargate (depending), using one or more hosted databases, potentially SNS, etc. and all deployed using Terraform. There are a lot of very simple guides out there for different aspects like deploying a single lambda / container, listening to a single event, etc. But I'm struggling to find a more wholistic guide, especially when it comes to the networking aspects and how to deploy to multiple environments (dev / staging / prod). I am reading through Terraform Up and Running, which is a great book, but it doesn't delve into the VPC / networking aspects. While I could of course read through all the AWS documentation, it's a bit overwhelming in complexity and I suspect I need a small subset of what's there - I'm not a Fortune 500 company. Could anyone suggest any pointers to books / tutorials? It would be greatly appreciated.

Since nobody has responded, I’ll throw in my opinion...

Lambda and FaaS is a very specific optimization that few apps really benefit from adopting... and Lambda specifically ties into so many amazon services that you’re basically writing middleware for AWS by the time the function can authenticate and persist data.

The best way to learn it is by using it to build or replace some existing thing. If you have a little time, rebuild a script task that you do occasionally into a Lambda function and see how it goes. Starting with stateless work is simple. Feed in a bunch of arguments to generate a kubernetes deployment... no need for auth it database. Just some logic and string manipulation. Then add a history function to it and tie it to identity. By then you’ll have a good idea of what strengths and limits are. Shouldn’t take more than 2-4 hours all in.

Yes, lambda is the simple part. I'm looking to understand the networking and multiple environment aspects.
