Deploying Serverless Applications in AWS Using the Serverless Application Model

Unlock the power of serverless computing with AWS! This course, Deploying Serverless Applications in AWS Using the Serverless Application Model (SAM), provides a comprehensive understanding of how to build and deploy scalable applications without managing servers.

What is the Serverless Application Model (SAM)?

SAM extends AWS CloudFormation, offering a streamlined approach to defining the components of your serverless architecture. This includes defining Amazon API Gateway APIs, AWS Lambda functions, and Amazon DynamoDB tables – the building blocks of a modern serverless application.

In this course, you will:

• Understand the Benefits of SAM: Discover how SAM simplifies serverless deployments and compare it to previous methods, highlighting its advantages for faster development and reduced operational overhead.
• Master SAM Resource Types: Learn about the key SAM resource types and how they simplify the definition of your serverless applications. Gain practical experience applying these types to build a sample application.
• Build a Real-World Backend: Put your new skills to the test by building the backend for a practical, library application. This hands-on experience solidifies your understanding of serverless application development.
• Explore Alternatives: Investigate alternatives to SAM and the SAM CLI, gaining a broader perspective on serverless deployment options in AWS.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Confidently deploy serverless applications in AWS using the Serverless Application Model.
• Design and implement scalable, cost-effective serverless solutions.
• Leverage AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB effectively.

This course is perfect for developers looking to embrace serverless architecture and build modern, scalable applications on AWS. Learn to leverage the SAM CLI for efficient deployment and management of your serverless applications.
