Alexa Lambda Workshop

In this workshop we will build an Amazon Alexa skill, backed by an AWS Lambda, using multiple AWS services such as Amazon SNS and Amazon Translate.

At the end of the workshop, you will have a voice skill that enables you to dictate a short message to Alexa and send it to the recipient via SMS, using Amazon Simple Notification Service, in the original language (English) or translate it to one of the 25 languages, supported by Amazon Translate.
