```
This template sets up the following resources:
1. A Lambda function for the backend.
2. An IAM role with necessary permissions for the Lambda function.
3. An API Gateway with a resource and method to invoke the Lambda function.
4. An API Gateway deployment.
5. An output that provides the URL for the backend API.
Please remember to customize the template according to your specific needs,
including replacing placeholders such as `your-s3-bucket`, `your-lambda-code.zip`,
and adding the necessary IAM permissions and actions for your backend
functionality.
