Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS

Duration · 3 daysVirtual + In-PersonInstructor-Led

$2,025

Course Description

This instructor-led course teaches developers, cloud engineers, and architects how to design, build, deploy, secure, and operate serverless applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Students learn how to use AWS serverless services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Step Functions, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS SAM to create scalable, event-driven cloud-native applications.

The course combines architecture discussions, demonstrations, design exercises, and extensive hands-on labs focused on real-world serverless development and operational best practices.
