Description

AWS Lambda and the Serverless Framework is the QUICKEST way to get started in the serverless world, to deploy AWS Lambda functions in Amazon Web Services that infinitely scale without managing any servers!

This course, unlike others, has an approach that teaches you how to deploy AWS Lambda functions from the first lectures properly.

no manual work through the AWS UI
all your configuration and deployment is coded using YAML and the Serverless framework
no headaches packaging your functions as zip files

AWS Lambda is a fantastic tool to master when learned the right way.

Save in cost - you only pay per usage
save in operational burden - no servers to manage!
Scale automatically from 0 to millions of API calls.

Additionally, you will learn AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model), another framework used to configure, develop and deploy serverless applications.

For this course, we'll deploy several real-world functions to AWS Lambda:

An automated thumbnail generation service on S3 (Python)
A REST API using AWS API Gateway & Lambda (nodeJS)
A REST API using AWS API Gateway & Lambda (Python 3)
An Email Service Using Lambda, SES, API Gateway, and NextJS for the front-end (NodeJS)
An Email Subscriber Service using SNS, API Gateway, S3, EventBridge (Schedule), DynamoDB, Lambda, SendGrid API (NodeJS)

After finishing the course, you'll be able to write any function you want.

In this course, you will be learning, by doing, everything you need to know to be proficient at using AWS Lambda and integrating with many different AWS services through the Serverless Framework and AWS SAM framework!

Try this course, and you have 30 days to be refunded if you don't like it. You have nothing to lose!
