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.Â
 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...
Learn how to create and run your first AWS Lambda function.
In this course, we explore some of the common use cases for serverless functions and get started with implementing serverless functions in a simple application Â
Learn how to design, configure, secure and test HTTP endpoints, using AWS Lambda as backend.
Learn how to invoke a Lambda function and implement custom logics in response to S3 events (e.g. object creation, update or deletion).
Schedule periodic tasks in a serverless fashion with AWS Lambda and CloudWatch Events.
Automating EBS snapshots with Lambda and CloudWatch EventsAutomating EBS snapshots with Lambda and CloudWatch Events
Learn how to listen to DynamoDB update streams and process batches of records with AWS Lambda to augment your database behavior.
Learn how to invoke a Lambda function to process and manipulate notifications published on SNS topics.
Learn how to implement a Custom Authorizer with AWS Lambda to define ad-hoc authorization logics for your API Gateway resources.
Course Description As more and more organization are moving towards a serverless or Function as a Service (FaaS) architecture and framework, understanding how this affects security is essential. There are both pros and cons to implementing a serverless ...
