Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS
Course Duration
3 Days
Audience
Employees of federal, state and local governments; and businesses working with the government.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of core AWS services and public cloud implementation Knowledge equivalent to completing the following serverless digital trainings: AWS Lambda Foundations and Amazon API Gateway for Serverless Applications Attended one of Architecting on AWS or Developing on AWS
Course Description
This course covers the design and implementation of serverless applications on AWS. Students learn to build event-driven architectures using AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, SQS, SNS, and Step Functions, while applying best practices for security, observability, and deployment automation.
Learning Objectives
- Event-driven best practices to a serverless application design using appropriate AWS services
- Identify the challenges and trade-offs of transitioning to serverless development, and make recommendations that suit your development organization and environment
- Build serverless applications using patterns that connect AWS managed services together, and account for service characteristics, including service quotas, available integrations, invocation model, error handling, and event source payload
- Compare and contrast available options for writing infrastructure as code, including AWS CloudFormation, AWS Amplify, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM), and AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)
