AWS Serverless Applications Course

Course Summary

The AWS Serverless Applications training course represents one of the most exciting shifts in application development in years. Serverless applications scale as needed, have lower overhead, less operational burden, and heal themselves more easily than traditional server-based applications.

The course begins by exploring the platform components, cost of Serverless applications, and language choices. Next, students will evaluate operations, networking, security, DevOps, and best practices of managing Serverless applications. The course concludes with a look at 3rd party tools.

This course is intended to take architects and developers who understand traditional development and teach them everything they need to develop applications using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Serverless platform.

What You'll Learn

In the AWS Serverless Applications training course, you'll learn:

Serverless Concepts – What does Serverless mean and how does it differ from traditional applications?
Event-driven Architecture – What are the event types and how can they be used to drive your application?
Serverless Platform Components
- Compute with Lambda
- Storage with S3

- Coordinated and distributed components with Step Functions
Cost Structures – How much will my application cost?
Language Choices – Not all languages yield the same results. Learn the pros/cons of each and how to implement workarounds for some shortcomings.
Operations – Deployments, analytics, logging, monitoring, alarms, scaling.
Networking and Security
DevOps – Building a CICD Pipeline
Best Practices – How to build your Serverless applications following microservice best practices. We’ll also look at different types of applications and see if Serverless makes sense (hint: it doesn’t always!)
