Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS Training
Managing infrastructure slows down development. That’s why over 70% of AWS customers now use serverless solutions—they're faster, cheaper, and scale automatically. The Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS course helps you shift your focus from infrastructure to innovation. Through hands-on labs, you'll build real skills using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, AWS SAM, and other key services—starting with the basics and advancing to full serverless applications in the AWS Cloud.
This AWS training prepares you to design and deploy serverless systems, implement best practices for building serverless apps, and use AWS frameworks to deploy production-ready solutions.
This course helps developers understand the tools, workflows, and best practices for building serverless applications using AWS. By working through real-world scenarios, you’ll gain experience using AWS Lambda and other services to solve common development challenges and deploy a serverless application using frameworks like AWS SAM, AWS CDK, and AWS CloudFormation.
