What is Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS?

Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS is a hands-on training course that teaches developers how to design and deploy scalable serverless applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and other services in the AWS serverless platform.

What are the benefits of taking this training?

This course gives developers exposure to AWS-native tools and best practices for building serverless applications. You’ll learn how to optimize for performance, cost, and security while gaining hands-on experience with AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and deployment frameworks like AWS SAM and AWS CDK.

How will this training help me with building cloud applications?

You’ll gain practical skills for building and deploying event-driven apps, integrating key AWS services, and using frameworks to deploy a serverless solution. The training also prepares you to handle real-world concerns like scaling, monitoring, and error handling in a serverless application.

Does this course include hands-on labs or real-world scenarios?

Yes. The course includes hands-on labs and guided try-it-out exercises designed to simulate real-world development tasks, such as deploying serverless APIs, configuring event sources, and building CI/CD pipelines with AWS SAM.

Is this course suitable for beginners?

This course is best suited for developers who have some familiarity with serverless architecture and experience with development on AWS. While not for total beginners, it’s a strong entry point for those transitioning into serverless or modernizing legacy apps.

Does this course prepare me for any AWS certification?

While Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS does not map directly to a specific certification exam, it supports core topics covered in several credentials. It’s especially helpful for developers pursuing the AWS Certified Developer – Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional.
