Introduction to AWS Lambda & Serverless Computing (Hands On)

Course details

When you complete this course, you will know how to useAWS Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDBto createserverless microservices.All youneed is your favorite web browser and an AWS account.

We'll use the serverless AWS platform to builda serverless AWS Lambda API on AWS inNode.js (you can also use other supported languages likePython, Java and C# or Go programming language).You'll quicklylearn everything you need to know to create completely serverless microservices from scratch.

Serverless Computing is the next game-changer in cloud computing.Serverless computing in general and AWS Lambda servicein particularis seeing rapid growth because it is an affordable and highly-scalable way to build fault-tolerant apps.

Microservices Architecturetakes AWS Lambda to the next level allowing you to organize your application as a set of small independent and manageable services.Serverless Computing with Microservices will continue to be a desirableskill setin the coming years.

By the end of this course, you'll become confident in working with AWS! Thiscourse is sure to delight you and help youachieve your goalswhether you want to:

• Supercharge your resume with this new and potent skill set
• Upgrade your knowledge and skills in serverless AWS, and
• Find out if the serverless approachis right for your next project

Here is my Teaching Approach

No fluff, no ranting, norambling,no beating around the bush. I valueyour time. The course material is short and concise. All important concepts are covered. Particularly important topics are covered in-depth.

Above all, my goal is to make sure that youget the best out of this course. Together, Ill walk you through the entire course, step by step. And, ifyou need anyhelp, Ill be there to guide you with all your course-related queries. You can post your questions in the Q&A section or send me a direct message. Ill do my best to help you as soon as I can.

Introduction toServerless Computing withAWS

• What isServerless Computing?
• How does serverless computing compare with the traditional "server-based" computing
• AWS serverless architecture (or Lambdaarchitecture)and its component services
• Commonexamples of serverless AWS applications
• Overview of the core web services in the AWSserverless offering- AWS Lambda,Amazon API Gateway, andAmazon DynamoDB
• Quick Overview of some more web services in the AWSserverlessplatform - Amazon S3, SNS, SQS,AWS Step Functions,Amazon Kinesis,Amazon Athena, Developer Tools and AWSSDKs

AWSDynamoDB (NoSQLCloud database)

• SQL vs NoSQL-Terminology Comparison
• Query vs Scan:Why Query operations are better than Scan on DynamoDB tables
• What is NoSQLand how does is compare with traditional RDBMS
• Howmigrating to serverless AWS DynamoDB helped us in reviving an ailing SaaS application

Microservices and Microservices Architecture

• What are Microservices and what isMicroservices Architecture?
• What are the prominent characteristics microservices?
• What are the mainbenefits ofmicroservices?

AWS Lambda and API Gateway

• How to use AWS Lambda and API Gateway together tocreateserverless microservices

Hands-on Practice (BuildAWS Serverless APIs asMicroservices):

• How to use DynamoDB Console tocreate DynamoDB tables
• How to perform different operations on these tables
• How tocreate Lambda AWS Serverless functions and AWS ServerlessAPIs
• How to create AWS serverless APIs using Lambda microservices, API Gateway and DynamoDB
• How to useAWS CloudWatchMonitoring with Lambda functions
• How to usethe all-new Lambda AWS Console withAWS Cloud9-based IDE to write Lambda functions
• We'll use node.js orJavascript to write our Lambda function. And if you prefer other programming languages,I'll also provide pointers to help you write your code in other Lambda supported programming languages, namely Python, Java and C# (.NET Core) or Go programming language.

By the end of this course,you'll be confident in creating completelyserverless microservices on AWS.
