Getting Started with Serverless Computing on AWS
Description
Overview
The Getting Started With Serverless Computing learning path provides a practical introduction to the world of serverless computing.
We start with an overview of what serverless computing is and how it can be used in modern day application design. We then learn how to create restful application interfaces and to create simple serverless functions using the AWS Lambda service. We then walk through creating an API Gateway end point, a Lambda function using mock data and then a Lambda ...

The first steps in creating a serverless function are generally creating a REST interface to allow clients to interact with your backend services. In this course, we step through creating an API using the AWS API Gateway service.
In this course, we will delve into implementing a series of AWS Lambda functions to help build our knowledge and familiarity with serverless computing. Learning ObjectivesFollowing this course, we will be able to explain and implement an AWS Lambda code f...
