AWS Serverless Microservices: Event-Driven Design and IaC

Modern cloud development relies heavily on serverless architectures to deliver highly scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient applications. If you want to transition from monolithic systems to decoupled, event-driven microservices, understanding serverless patterns is essential. This course guides you through designing and deploying a fully functional, production-ready serverless microservices system. You will transition from conceptual designs to writing infrastructure as code, configuring asynchronous messaging, and implementing industry-proven serverless design patterns. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of serverless microservices, focusing on synchronous versus asynchronous communication patterns. - Build scalable REST APIs using API Gateway and AWS Lambda to handle core microservice business logic. - Design a decoupled, event-driven architecture using EventBridge to route events and SQS to manage message queues reliably. - Implement data persistence with DynamoDB, applying NoSQL modeling best practices for high performance. - Configure infrastructure as code using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to define and deploy cloud resources programmatically. - Apply modern cloud observability practices, including structured logging and performance monitoring with CloudWatch. You will start by exploring fundamental serverless concepts and database design before progressively writing code to build out product, basket, and ordering services. Through detailed text explanations and structured code snippets, you will learn how to connect these services into a unified, resilient system. This course is designed for software developers, cloud enthusiasts, and system architects who are new to serverless architectures. No prior cloud experience is required, as we begin with core concepts and step-by-step configurations. Start building robust, event-driven cloud applications today.
