Developing Serverless Applications with Python on AWS

Transitioning from writing local scripts to building scalable, cloud-native applications can feel like a massive leap. This text-based course bridges that gap by guiding you step-by-step from Python programming fundamentals to deploying production-ready serverless microservices on AWS. You will start with core programming concepts, syntax, and modern Python best practices before diving into cloud architecture. By exploring how code executes in the cloud, you will gain the skills to design, write, and configure efficient backend services that scale automatically. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Python syntax, data structures, and modern practices like type hints and virtual environments. - Write clean, efficient Python code and interact with cloud services using the Boto3 SDK. - Compare monolithic, service-oriented, and serverless microservice architectures. - Configure and deploy serverless functions using AWS Lambda to handle real-world backend events. - Apply basic infrastructure-as-code concepts to define and manage your cloud resources programmatically. - Implement structured logging and basic observability to debug and monitor your cloud applications. The course begins with essential programming definitions and syntax, ensuring a solid foundation before advancing to cloud-specific concepts. You will progress through clear written explanations, code walkthroughs, and conceptual readings that connect local Python development with cloud infrastructure. This course is designed for aspiring cloud developers, backend engineers, and programming beginners who want to build cloud-native applications. No prior AWS experience or programming background is required. Start reading today to build your first serverless application in the cloud.
