This course gives developers exposure to and practice with best practices for building serverless applications using AWS Lambda and other services in the AWS serverless platform. You will use AWS frameworks to deploy a serverless application in hands-on labs that progress from simpler to more complex topics. You will use AWS documentation throughout the course to develop authentic methods for learning and problem-solving beyond the classroom.
- Course level: Intermediate
- Duration: 3 days
Overview
Design, Build, and Scale Like Never Before: Master Serverless Development on AWS
In this hands-on course, you’ll unlock the full potential of serverless architecture by learning how to design scalable, event-driven applications using AWS best practices. Discover how to build powerful serverless solutions that seamlessly integrate AWS managed services while balancing real-world trade-offs in performance, cost, and complexity. You’ll dive deep into infrastructure as code with CloudFormation, AWS SAM, CDK, and Amplify, and gain expert-level skills in writing efficient, secure, and maintainable Lambda functions.
Learn how to implement CI/CD for serverless workflows, monitor and scale your applications with confidence, and apply advanced observability and security best practices. Whether you're modernizing legacy apps or starting from scratch, this course will empower you to confidently lead in the era of serverless computing. Enroll now and become a serverless innovator!

Intended audience This course is intended for:
• Developers who have some familiarity with serverless and experience with development in the AWS Cloud
Prerequisites We recommend that attendees of this course have:
• Familiarity with the basics of AWS Cloud architecture
• An understanding of developing applications on AWS equivalent to completing the Developing on
• Knowledge equivalent to completing the following serverless digital trainings: AWS Lambda
Foundations and Amazon API Gateway for Serverless Applications

Module 1: Thinking Serverless
• Best practices for building modern serverless applications • Event-driven design
• AWS services that support event-driven serverless applications
Module 2: API-Driven Development and Synchronous Event Sources
• Characteristics of standard request/response API-based web applications
• How Amazon API Gateway fits into serverless applications
• Try-it-out exercise: Set up an HTTP API endpoint integrated with a Lambda function
• High-level comparison of API types (REST/HTTP, WebSocket, GraphQL)
Module 3: Introduction to Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control
• Authentication vs. Authorization
• Options for authenticating to APIs using API Gateway
• Amazon Cognito in serverless applications
• Amazon Cognito user pools vs. federated identities
Module 4: Serverless Deployment Frameworks
• Overview of imperative vs. declarative programming for infrastructure as code • Comparison of CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Amplify, and AWS SAM frameworks • Features of AWS SAM and the AWS SAM CLI for local emulation and testing
Module 5: Using Amazon EventBridge and Amazon SNS to Decouple Components
• Development considerations when using asynchronous event sources • Features and use cases of Amazon EventBridge • Try-it-out exercise: Build a custom EventBridge bus and rule • Comparison of use cases for Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) vs. EventBridge • Try-it-out exercise: Configure an Amazon SNS topic with filtering
Module 6: Event-Driven Development Using Queues and Streams • Development considerations when using polling event sources to trigger Lambda functions • Distinctions between queues and streams as event sources for Lambda • Selecting appropriate configurations when using Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) or Amazon Kinesis Data Streams as an event source for Lambda • Try-it-out exercise: Configure an Amazon SQS queue with a dead-letter queue as a Lambda event source Hands-On Labs • Hands-On Lab 1: Deploying a Simple Serverless Application • Hands-On Lab 2: Message Fan-Out with Amazon EventBridge
