Amazon Web Services: Serverless Architectures on AWS (edX)

Offered by AWS,
Amazon Web Services: Serverless Architectures on AWS (edX)

As a developer with a serverless architecture, you can focus on their core product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers or runtimes, either in the cloud or on-premises. This reduced overhead lets you reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing scalable and reliable products.

A modern software engineer knows how to use the benefits of managed services from Amazon Web Services to reduce the coding needed to get a project across the line. There’s a lot of code you really don’t need to write when you can use a managed service for your applications. Less code means less tests, less bugs, and quicker delivery.
In this course, we get hands on with automation tools and serverless managed services. Get your projects completed faster without needing to maintain the underlying servers hosting the managed services. Treat your infrastructure as code using AWS CloudFormation and AWS Serverless Application Model as an automated way to build the resources hosting your applications. We use AWS Amplify to rapidly add front-end hosting and AWS Cognito to add authentication to our application. With Cognito in place, we upgrade the application API to require authentication. Next, we learn to use AWS Step Functions to move a lot of the workflow coordination code out of your applications. Using serverless services, we contrast some options for building event driven architectures with Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS and Amazon EventBridge. Join our expert instructors as we dive deep on real-world use cases for each of the featured services in the course.
This course will provide a combination of video-based lectures, demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises that will get you working with automation tools, Cognito authentication, Step Function workflows and event-driven architectures.
This course is part of the Building serverless applications on AWS XSeries program.

What you'll learn
--Create a serverless API with the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) using the compute and storage services from the previous course: Lambda, S3 and DynamoDB.
--Describe the parts of an authenticated serverless application and API using Amazon Cognito and Amazon API Gateway.
--Describe different application integration designs: REST API, and Event Driven architecture.
--Differentiate messaging use cases of Amazon Simple Notification Service and Amazon Simple Queue Service.
--Create a workflow that coordinates multiple AWS web services with AWS Step Functions.
