| Serverless Applications with AWS teaches you to build serverless
| applications using AWS Lambda and other cloud-based services.
| Featuring expert presenter Marcia Villalba and dozens of high-
| quality video lessons, you'll practice as you go and start using
| what you learn immediately.
| Serverless Applications with AWS guides you through a fully
| working image resizing service built on the AWS Lambda platform.
| As you create the application, you'll develop an understanding of
| S3 and event-driven architecture, use DynamoDB for flexible
| metadata storage, and learn the principles of serverless
| application design. You'll even master REST APIs and
| authentication. In each crystal-clear module, you'll put your new
| knowledge into practice as you watch your application grow before
| your eyes.
| Inside:

Getting started with AWS
The right time to use serverless architecture
Understanding the role of AWS Lambda
Using DynamoDB to store metadata
AWS DynamoDB streams
Managing your serverless architecture

| About the subject

| There's a huge shift away from locally-managed infrastructure,
| thanks to cloud solutions like AWS. Serverless applications are
| the next big step, freeing you from the costly and time-consuming
| task of day-to-day server management. AWS Lambda, along with a
| host of other pre-built components and services, makes it easy
| (and cheap!) to build powerful cloud-based applications. AWS
| handles scaling, load balancing, and other demand-based issues. In
| the serverless model, you can create apps that are stable,
| powerful, and practically self-managing faster than you ever
| imagined.
| Prerequisites
| This course is for software developers interested in full-stack
| and back-end applications. No experience with AWS Lambda or
| serverless applications is required.
