Overview

This learning path includes everything you need to know to get started developing serverless applications using AWS services. 

We start with an introduction to AWS CLI, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and using serverless functions. We then get into more advanced API Gateway functionality, as well as databases and containers. Throughout, we provide a lot of labs to give you the hands-on experience you need to develop serverless applications on AWS.

Labs are the best way to understand the benefits of Lambda. The best way to learn how to use it is to get your hands dirty trying it out for yourself! The labs extend your knowledge and understanding and show you how to get the most benefit from Lambda functions in processing day to day tasks.

How to define Serverless APIs backed by AWS Lambda Amazon API Gateway allows you to design RESTful interfaces and connect them with your favorite backend. You can design your own resources structure, add dynamic routing parameters, and develop custom authorizations logic. Each API resource can be configured independently, while each stage can have specific cache, throttling, and logging ...

 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 function that meets 3 common AWS Lambda use cases - API Gateway, S3, and DynamoDB. In this course, we will create a simple AWS Lambda function ...

How to secure API Gateway Resources with custom authorization logic Amazon API Gateway offers several native authorization mechanisms, such as managed API keys, IAM Roles, and custom authorizers. API Keys (with the help of Usage Plans) can help manage custom throttling and quota for your API consumers. IAM is a good choice when your consumers require access to AWS resources and you need to manage ...

For years, web development has continued to evolve alongside programming languages, tooling, and frameworks. It started out with static web sites before moving on to dynamic sites that were rendered on the server. Over time, as JavaScript frameworks gained functionality and popularity, there was a shift towards putting more of the logic into the front-end, and using the back-end as a supporting ...

Course Description This course provides an introduction to working with Amazon DynamoDB, a fully-managed NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services. We begin with a description of DynamoDB and compare it to other database platforms. The course continues by walking you through designing tables, and reading and writing data, which is somewhat different than other databases you may be ...

Containers are a bit of an “it” thing in technology right now. The reason for this is simple: they’re a very powerful tool which can streamline your development and ops processes, save companies money, and make life for developers much easier. However, the flip side of this is that they’re a new paradigm to understand, and require that apps be built with a specific architecture to take full ...
