Course Overview

Serverless computing has revolutionized cloud application development by eliminating the need for managing infrastructure while enabling high scalability and cost efficiency. AWS offers a comprehensive suite of serverless services, with Lambda, API Gateway, S3, and DynamoDB forming the core building blocks. Mastering these services is crucial for modern developers looking to build highly responsive, event-driven applications without provisioning or maintaining servers. By leveraging AWS serverless technologies, businesses can accelerate development, optimize costs, and focus on delivering value rather than infrastructure management.

This course begins with an introduction to AWS cloud computing and serverless architecture, setting the foundation for working with key AWS services. You will then prepare your development environment by setting up AWS accounts, configuring IAM permissions, and installing AWS CLI. A deep dive into AWS Lambda follows, covering function creation, event triggers, and integrations with other AWS services. The course then explores AWS serverless storage solutions, focusing on S3 for object storage and DynamoDB for NoSQL database management. You will also learn how to build and manage APIs using AWS API Gateway, enabling seamless communication between serverless applications. Finally, the course culminates in a hands-on project where you will develop a fully functional ride-hailing service using AWS Amplify, Cognito, Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong grasp of AWS serverless technologies, the ability to build scalable applications, and hands-on experience developing a real-world cloud-based project.
