AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Create a New Project for API Gateway-Lambda Synchronous

This video tutorial guides users through setting up a project for API Gateway and Lambda asynchronous microservices using AWS CDK. It begins with opening a terminal and creating a new project folder. The tutorial then covers creating a CDK application, selecting TypeScript as the programming language, and finally opening the project in Visual Studio Code for further development. The instructor emphasizes the use of TypeScript due to its compatibility with CDK and provides step-by-step instructions for each process.
