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.

Executing code in response to specific event triggers is a common need. In fact, Event-Driven Programming has long been an important approach in Software Development. So if trigger response is useful within an operating system, why not for cloud-based web applications? To answer precisely that need, Amazon recently released Lambda. Lambda will launch AWS resources and execute snippets of code in ...
