AWS Lambda - A Practical Guide - Learn from an Expert

Learn AWS Lambda from Scratch: Practical Projects & Real-World Expertise

(Updated August 2023)

This course is designed for developers of all levels, even those with zero AWS Lambda experience. Created by a Senior Software Engineer with nearly a decade of experience at Amazon, this course takes a practical, project-based approach to mastering AWS Lambda.

What sets this course apart?

Many AWS Lambda courses focus on theory. This course, built on my experience helping millions of developers through my YouTube channel (Be a Better Dev), dives deep into the practical aspects of building and running Lambda applications at scale. I've built everything from small microservices to large event processing systems handling billions of requests daily. You'll gain insights you won't find anywhere else.

Here's what you'll learn:

• AWS Lambda Fundamental Concepts: Understand the core principles of AWS Lambda.
• How AWS Lambda Works: Explore the inner workings of Lambda and its architecture.
• Creating, Deploying & Debugging Lambda Applications: Master the process of building, deploying, and troubleshooting Lambda functions.
• Developing & Deploying Lambda Applications with CDK: Learn to use Cloud Development Kit (CDK) for infrastructure as code.
• Advanced Lambda Concepts: Explore topics like Concurrency, Monitoring, and Service Integration.
• 3 Practical Projects: Gain hands-on experience integrating Lambda with other essential AWS services:
  • CloudWatch Events: Trigger Lambda functions based on events.
  • API Gateway: Build REST APIs with Lambda backends.
  • SQS: Process messages with Lambda and asynchronous event handling.
• And much, much more!

I'll continuously update the course content to reflect the latest AWS Lambda features and best practices.
