Course content

4 sections • 7 lectures • 41m total length

  • Introduction2:03

    In this section, we’ll introduce your instructor and the goals of this short AWS Lambda course.

    You’ll learn what to expect, what you’ll need to follow along, and how the course is structured for fast, hands-on learning.

  • The Evolution of Cloud Computing4:04

    In this lecture, we’ll explore how cloud computing evolved — from physical servers to virtualization, containers, and finally, serverless.

    You’ll learn why AWS created Lambda, what problems serverless solves, and how it simplifies scaling, cost, and operations compared to traditional infrastructure.

    This lecture gives you the big picture of why serverless matters before we dive into the hands-on demos.

  • What is AWS Lambda?5:25

    In this lecture, we’ll explore the fundamentals of AWS Lambda, the core of serverless computing on AWS.

    You’ll learn:

    • What AWS Lambda is and how it works behind the scenes

    • The main triggers (API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB Streams, etc.)

    • How AWS Lambda scales automatically and charges only for compute time

    • Why developers use it for microservices and event-driven architectures

    By the end of this lecture, you’ll clearly understand how Lambda fits into the AWS Serverless ecosystem and be ready to build your first function in the next section.

Requirements

  • No prior AWS experience required.
  • A free AWS account (we’ll guide you through setup).
  • Basic understanding of programming concepts helps, but not mandatory.
  • Internet connection to access AWS Console and complete exercises.

Description

Welcome to the AWS Lambda Crash Course — your practical introduction to serverless computing!

In this concise and hands-on course, you’ll explore how to build, deploy, and test AWS Lambda functions step by step. We’ll begin with the core concepts of serverless computing and learn how AWS Lambda works behind the scenes — one of today’s most in-demand cloud technologies used across modern applications.

Through guided demos, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create and configure your first AWS Lambda function.

  • Connect Lambda with Amazon API Gateway.

  • Work with triggers, events, and understand cold starts.

  • Test, monitor, and troubleshoot Lambda functions in real-time.

  • See how Lambda integrates with other AWS services to build scalable, event-driven solutions.

By the end, you’ll be able to create and deploy Lambda functions confidently and understand how serverless architectures fit into real examples, AWS projects, and workflows.

This course is ideal for beginners, cloud learners, and professionals preparing for AWS certifications. Whether you’re exploring AWS for the first time or building a proof-of-concept app, this course provides a clear, practical foundation in serverless development, complete with easy-to-follow, real examples and demonstrations.
