Developing serverless solutions on AWS

Course Description

This course gives developers exposure to & practices with best practices for building serverless applications using AWS Lambda & other services in the AWS serverless platform. Professionals will utilize AWS frameworks to deploy a serverless application in hands-on-labs that progress from straightforward to more complex topics. Professionals will use AWS documentation throughout the course to develop authentic methods for learning & problem-solving beyond the classroom.

Prerequisites

We recommend that attendees of this course have-

  • Familiarity with the basics of AWS Cloud architecture

Target Audience

This course is intended for-

  • Developers who have some familiarity with serverless & experience with development in the AWS Cloud

Course Objectives

In this course, professionals will learn to-

  • Implement event-driven best practices to a serverless application design using appropriate AWS services
  • Identify the challenges & trade-offs of transitioning to serverless development, & make recommendations that suit your development organization & environment.
  • Develop serverless applications using patterns that connect AWS-managed services together, & account for service characteristics, including service quotas, available integrations, invocation model, error handling, & event source payload
  • Compare & contrast available options for writing infrastructure as code, including AWS Amplify, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), & AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)
  • Implement best practices for writing Lambda functions inclusive of error handling, logging, environment re-use, utilizing layers, statelessness, idempotency, & configuring concurrency & memory
  • Apply best practices for building observability & monitoring into your serverless application
  • Implement ideal security practices to serverless applications
  • Recognize key scaling considerations in a serverless application, & match each consideration to the tools, methods, or ideal practices to manage it
  • Use AWS SAM, AWS CDK, & AWS developer tools to configure a CI/CD workflow, & automate the deployment of a serverless application
  • Create & actively maintain a list of serverless resources that will help in your ongoing serverless development & engagement with the serverless community

FAQs

Serverless computing offers a number of advantages over traditional cloud-based or server-centric infrastructure. For many developers, serverless architectures offer greater scalability, more flexibility, & quicker time to release, all at a reduced cost.

Serverless applications start with AWS Lambda, an event-driven compute service natively integrated with over 200 AWS services & software as a service (SaaS) application.

There are three methods of data storage, namely –

  • Object storage
  • File storage
  • Block storage

EC2 is a service that enables business clients to run application programs in the computing environment.

AWS security provides opportunities to protect the data, check out security-related activity & receive automated responses.
