Build and Deploy Lambda Functions: AWS with Python and Boto3

Unlock the Power of Serverless Computing with AWS Lambda!

Ready to build scalable, cost-effective applications? This course dives deep into AWS Lambda, one of the fastest-growing services on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. Learn how to develop and deploy serverless functions using popular languages like Python, Node.js, and Java.

What You'll Learn:

• Serverless Architecture Fundamentals: Understand the core concepts of serverless computing and how AWS Lambda fits into a modern cloud architecture. Say goodbye to infrastructure management – focus solely on your code!
• Python Lambda Functions:
  • Develop Python Lambda functions from scratch.
  • Utilize Boto3, the AWS SDK for Python, for seamless integration with AWS services.
  • Package your code as a zip file for deployment.
  • Configure and deploy your Python Lambda functions using a generic deployment solution.
  • Verify your function configuration in the AWS console.
• Node.js Lambda Functions:
  • Implement and deploy Node.js Lambda functions using the same streamlined process.
  • Leverage a generic deployment solution for consistent deployments across languages.
  • Validate your Node.js Lambda function deployment in the AWS console.
• Java Lambda Functions:
  • Create Java Lambda functions using the Eclipse IDE and the AWS Toolkit.
  • Package your Java code as an executable JAR file with Maven.
  • Deploy your Java Lambda function to AWS and confirm its functionality.
• Invoking and Managing Lambda Functions:
  • Learn how to easily invoke your AWS Lambda functions and parse the responses.
  • Master essential management techniques:
    • Function Aliasing: Create aliases for different versions of your function.
    • Versioning: Manage multiple versions of your Lambda function.
    • Environment Variables: Configure and utilize environment variables for dynamic behavior.
    • Source Code Updates: Easily update your Lambda function's code.
  • Perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on your Lambda functions.

Course Highlights:

• Step-by-step instructions for setting up your development environment on Windows and MacOS.
• Clear explanations and practical examples.
• Hands-on experience with Python, Node.js, and Java Lambda functions.
