Learn to create an AWS account, verify credit card and phone, access the AWS management console, and note the free tier includes one million Lambda invocations per month.
Use the AWS Lambda pricing calculator to estimate costs by region, architecture, invocation count, duration, and memory, showing when a function remains free versus incurs charges.
Learn how a Lambda function processes events by converting JSON data into a Python object, retrieving fields like name and age, and testing with different JSON formats.
Explore the context object in AWS Lambda, including function name, memory limit, and remaining time, and understand how timeouts terminate long executions.
Learn how to use environment variables in AWS Lambda to modify function behavior without code changes, enabling production and staging environments to connect to databases with a single lambda function.
In this course we will look at AWS Lambda service on a deeper level. Join me on a journey that starts with creating an AWS Account and ends at the top of the mountain called Asynchronous invocation. The course is ideal for beginner developers that are, for example, joining a company that requires them to have knowledge of AWS Lambda service. It's also a perfect course to undertake for experienced developers that need to familiarise themselves with the intricacies and capabilities of the Lambda service.
Course contains topics that I consider important to know before you start working with the service. Explanations of topics like what does it mean to be serverless, the real world usage of environment variables in Lambda, the difference between Lambda roles and resource-based policies and many more. The peak of the course are definitely the two lessons showing you a step by step process of setting up a trigger integration between the S3 service and the Lambda service. Almost all the difficult concepts are accompanied by an easily understandable and smooth animations.
We will be interacting with the Lambda service through AWS Management Console only. We will NOT be setting up a AWS Command Line Interface.
