This learning path gives you the practical experience you need to start building and deploying microservices using the serverless framework. This learning path is made up entirely of our hands-on labs, lab playgrounds, and lab challenges so that you can learn-by-doing and get the opportunity to build your own serverless infrastructure.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the basic components and principles of the Serverless Framework
• Use the Serverless Framework CLI to perform simple commands
• Build and deploy microservices, serverless functions, and resources through the Serverless Framework
• Define and deploy cloud resources directly using the Serverless Framework
• Realize an asynchronous communication between different functions following the fan out pattern
• Build a serverless microservice with private parts
• Define a custom authorizer function that will authenticate all the requests made to private parts

Intended Audience

• Software engineers focused on serverless development and microservices
• Cloud architects that want to build and maintain a serverless cloud infrastructure

Prerequisites

To get the most from this lab, you should have basic knowledge of Python and Serverless. If you want to brush up on your serverless knowledge, please consider taking the following learning path first:
