Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.
AWS Lambda and Serverless Architecture: Build Event-Driven Apps
Learn to build, deploy, and scale modern cloud applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB through clear written explanations and practical code examples.
About this course
Modern cloud development is moving away from managing physical servers to building highly scalable, event-driven applications. Understanding serverless architecture with AWS Lambda is essential for designing cost-effective, resilient, and highly available systems.
This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of serverless computing, helping you transition from traditional infrastructure management to a cloud-native mindset. You will learn how to design, write, and deploy serverless applications using industry-standard AWS services while analyzing production-ready code configurations.
What you'll learn:
- Understand the foundations of serverless computing and the AWS Lambda execution model.
- Configure event-driven triggers using API Gateway, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.
- Design scalable database schemas with DynamoDB and orchestrate complex workflows using Step Functions.
- Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to define your serverless resources using AWS SAM.
- Implement modern observability patterns including structured logging and tracing for distributed systems.
- Secure serverless applications using least-privilege IAM policies and secure environment variables.
You will start with the fundamental concepts and definitions of serverless architecture before moving into structured code-based walkthroughs, configuration guides, and architectural patterns. This comprehensive approach ensures you grasp both the theoretical design and practical implementation.
This course is designed for beginner cloud developers, software engineers, and system architects who want to learn serverless development from scratch. No prior AWS experience is required to get started.
Start reading today to build your first production-ready serverless application.
