AWS Lambda and Serverless Framework workshop
Modern applications are all built using Serverless Computing. Serverless is one of the top-paying cloud skills. In this talk, we will explore the AWS Serverless framework. Serverless architecture is a way to build and run applications and services without having to manage infrastructure.
You’ll learn Serverless Computing from beginning to end. We will take a deep dive into best practices, core features, and advanced features including step functions.
We will go over the following topics:
– AWS Lambda
– AWS API Gateway
– Amazon DynamoDB
– AWS Step Functions
– AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model)
– Serverless Framework design patterns
– AWS Continuous Integration Tools like Git, CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodePipeline
Serverless Integrations Best Practices
Who will benefit from this course?
– Developers and Architects to discover AWS Serverless Lambda and the Serverless Architecture
– DevOps Professionals who want to understand CICD pipelines
– Developers or Architects who want to design serverless applications using the best practices in serverless computing
Prerequisites?
Have access to an AWS Account, some familiarity to AWS
JavaScript knowledge
This talk is ideal for the following roles:
Architects
Technical Leads
Programers
Integration Architects
Solution Architects
