What does Quarkus + Lambda deployment look like?

Two commands: sam build && sam deploy. Quarkus JAR to Lambda via SAM. No Docker.

Is DynamoDB good for beginner apps?

Yes—serverless, no schema, pay-per-use. Perfect for finance trackers like re:Money.

Why vanilla JS over React for serverless?

No build step. Bundles in JAR. Faster to prod, lighter runtime.
