Create a Mock API Endpoint Using Faker and Serverless

Mock APIs are useful for development when you can't use live data for whatever reason.

Faker makes creating mock APIs a straightforward process. In this lesson you'll see how to user Faker to create a generator object for each of a User's properties. Then we'll write a function that goes through each property and run a generate function.

Once we've created our mock API generator, we can use the Serverless framework to generate a Lambda Function and API Gateway so we can access our mock API from a live URL.
