AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model)

AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) is a framework by Amazon Web Services that simplifies the development, deployment, and management of serverless applications. It allows developers to define their application's components, like functions and APIs, using a simple configuration file. This makes it easier to build applications that automatically scale and only charge for the resources used when they are running. AWS SAM also provides tools to test and launch these applications on the cloud, enhancing efficiency and reducing overhead for developers. Essentially, it streamlines the process of creating robust cloud-native applications.
