A couple of weeks before, in AWS re:invent, Amazon made a lot of innovative announcements, and one of the announcements was the AWS Application Composer service, which allows a user to drag and drop elements to the Canvas and quickly design and deploy serverless applications.
Application Composer service is in the preview phase as this is being written. It allows you to drag and drop a list of resources to a canvas, make connections between them and provide the required configuration. It allows you to design a workflow on the front end, and in the background, it generates the necessary code and template using the Serverless Architecture Model (SAM). SAM CLI is the tool you can use to quickly deploy this template to the AWS environment.
Serverless Architecture Model (SAM) is an open-source framework for creating serverless applications in YAML format.
