AWS Serverless Development and Automation

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Learn how to leverage AWS services to automate deployments and create serverless applications. This course covers a range of AWS tools including CloudFormation, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB, with hands-on projects to build and deploy real-world applications. By the end of the course, you will be able to manage your infrastructure as code, deploy applications, and harness the power of serverless computing. Through practical demonstrations and guided lessons, you will explore CloudFormation and learn how to automate infrastructure provisioning. You will gain insights into Elastic Beanstalk for app deployments and experiment with the Elastic Beanstalk CLI to automate workflows. Moving into serverless computing, you’ll explore AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions to build scalable applications that require minimal infrastructure management. The course also delves into DynamoDB for non-relational databases and Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption, rounding out your knowledge of AWS's essential tools. By the end, you will be equipped to build serverless applications and deploy them efficiently using modern cloud technologies. This course is ideal for developers looking to expand their cloud computing skills and anyone interested in automating deployment processes on AWS. Familiarity with basic cloud computing concepts is recommended, but no prior AWS experience is necessary.
