In this guide, we will add a Novu [Bridge Endpoint](/framework/endpoint) to a AWS Lambda application and send our first test workflow.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ## Set up your local environment

    <StudioStep />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Install packages

    <PackagesStep />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Add a Novu API Endpoint

    ```typescript src/functions/api/novu.ts
    import { serve } from "@novu/framework/lambda";
    import { workflow } from "@novu/framework";
    import { testWorkflow } from "../novu/workflows";

    module.exports.novu = serve({
        workflows: [testWorkflow],
    });
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Configure your secret key

    <SecretStep />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Create your workflow definition

    Add a `novu` folder in your app folder as such `novu/workflows.ts` that will contain your workflow definitions.

    <WorkflowStep />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Start your application

    Start your AWS Lambda server with the Novu Endpoint configured.

    If your Local Lambda application is running on other than `4000` port, restart the `npx novu dev` command with the port:

    ```tsx
    npx novu@latest dev --port <YOUR_AWS LAMBDA_APPLICATION_PORT>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Test your endpoint

    <TestStep framework="AWS Lambda" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ## Deploy your application

    <DeployApp />
  </Step>
</Steps>
