Description

AWS SAM Framework (Serverless Application Model) and AWS Lambda is the best way to build scalable, reliable serverless applications and deploy AWS Lambda functions in Amazon Web Services. The great thing about serverless is that you don't need to manage any servers!

In this course, you will dive right in and learn how to deploy AWS Lambda functions and declare and configure those functions using the AWS SAM Framework (Serverless Application Model).

In a nutshell, you will:

No longer need to create serverless infrastructures using the AWS Management Console manually
Now have all your configurations and deployments in one single YAML file
You no longer need to package your functions into a zip file and manually upload them to the AWS cloud

With the AWS SAM CLI and SAM Framework, you do all that using the Command Line Interface quicker!

This is the best time to get well-versed in AWS SAM Framework and AWS Lambda Functions to configure, develop and deploy serverless applications quickly.

AWS Lambda functions abstract out all the burden of dealing with servers - you write a function and let AWS take it from there! In addition, you save in cost since you only pay per usage - if your Lambda functions are not running, you don't get billed.

With AWS Lambda functions, you can scale out or in quickly without having to reconfigure servers!

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)
A Face Recognition Service that recognizes faces and their features
Amazon Comprehend service paired with EventBridge that emails users on schedule with selected news headlines

After finishing the course, you can 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 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!
