☆☆ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ☆☆
This is another episode on the series of interviews "This is not a podcast", where I interview experts about serverless and cloud topics.

In this episode, we talk about how to organize your code, do you want to use mono repo? How to do it with AWS SAM? How to share dependencies between different functions? How to build it with AWS CodePipeline?

Eric shares how he does AWS Amplify for the frontend programmatically using AWS SAM. This is a revelation if you want to build your backend with AWS SAM and host your frontend with AWS Amplify.

We also get into the details of how Eric is building AWS Lambda functions using Swift as a custom runtime and we get into the details of how makefiles work.

And finally we get into a neat example on how you can choose a different deployment strategy for your safe deployments in AWS SAM.
