I will migrate your nodejs express app to AWS lambda serverless
About this Gig
Already built a Node.js/Express backend and want it running serverless on AWS? I configure and deploy your existing app to AWS Lambda + API Gateway no rewrite of your business logic needed.
What's included:
- Express app wrapped for Lambda (serverless-http)
- API Gateway + Lambda configuration
- DynamoDB integration if needed
- IAM roles with least-privilege access
- Deployed directly into your own AWS account
Good fit if your app doesn't rely on long-running processes (15-min Lambda limit), persistent WebSocket connections, or heavy local file storage I'll flag this during requirements if your app needs a different approach.
Serverless architecture uses AWS's free tier, so for low-to-moderate traffic, your monthly AWS bill often stays close to $0 though this depends on your actual usage once live.
My background: Software Engineer building cloud-native AWS solutions for enterprise clients. AWS SysOps Administrator Associate and AI Practitioner certified.
Need a CI/CD pipeline for automatic deployments? Available as an add-on.
Message me before ordering if your app has WebSockets, long-running jobs, or heavy file storage I'll help scope the right approach.

FAQ
My app uses WebSockets — can you still migrate it?
Standard Lambda + API Gateway doesn't support persistent WebSocket connections directly. This needs a different setup (API Gateway WebSocket APIs), so please mention this in the order requirements — I'll scope it separately rather than assume it's covered.
What if my app reads/writes files to local disk?
Lambda's file system is temporary and doesn't persist between requests. If your app relies on local file storage, I'll move that logic to S3 as part of the migration — let me know in the requirements so I can plan for it.
Will my AWS costs really be close to $0?
For low-to-moderate traffic, yes - AWS's free tier covers a generous amount of Lambda and API Gateway usage. Costs scale up with real traffic, so this depends on your actual usage once live, not a fixed guarantee.
Do I need to give you full access to my AWS account?
No - I'll guide you through creating a scoped IAM role with only the permissions needed for this migration. You keep full control of your account and root credentials.
What if my app has long-running processes?
Lambda has a 15-minute execution limit per invocation. If your app has processes that regularly exceed that, let me know before ordering so we can discuss whether serverless is the right fit or if adjustments are needed.
