Serverless Development with AWS SAM: Build and Deploy Applications from Scratch

Manually configuring individual AWS resources for serverless applications quickly becomes unmanageable as your project grows. This text-based course teaches you how to streamline your workflow by defining your entire infrastructure as code using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). You will transition from manually stitching cloud services together to programmatically defining, testing, and deploying robust serverless backends containing Lambda functions, API Gateway, and databases. What you'll learn: - Understand core serverless concepts and AWS SAM template anatomy - Define Lambda functions, API Gateways, and DynamoDB tables using YAML - Test and debug your serverless applications locally using the SAM CLI - Apply modern security practices by configuring fine-grained IAM roles - Deploy your serverless applications systematically to the AWS cloud - Explore basic CI/CD pipeline concepts for automated serverless deployments You will begin with foundational serverless definitions and key terminology before diving into template construction, local testing workflows, and secure cloud deployments. Through clear written explanations and practical configuration snippets, you will build a solid understanding of cloud resource management. This course is designed for beginner developers and cloud enthusiasts who want to learn serverless development from the ground up, with no prior infrastructure-as-code experience required.
