Build and Deploy a Full Stack React App using AWS Lambda and Stripe

In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of building and deploying a full-stack React application using AWS Lambda for serverless backend functionality and Stripe for payment processing. This setup ensures scalability, cost-effectiveness, and seamless payment integration.
Why AWS Lambda and Stripe?
- AWS Lambda provides a serverless computing environment, meaning you don’t need to manage infrastructure. It automatically scales and you only pay for what you use.
- Stripe is a powerful payment processing platform that offers easy-to-integrate APIs, secure transactions, and global payment support.
By leveraging these technologies, you can build an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective full-stack application.
