Deploying Scalable Go Applications on AWS with CDK

Scaling web applications manually in the cloud is slow, error-prone, and difficult to replicate. By defining your cloud infrastructure using code, you can build reliable, repeatable, and highly scalable Go applications on AWS. This text-based course guides you through the process of setting up AWS resources using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and deploying highly performant Go services. You will transition from manual console configuration to managing production-ready cloud environments programmatically. What you'll learn: Understand foundational cloud concepts, AWS services, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles; Configure the AWS CDK environment using Go to define resources programmatically; Build and compile efficient Go applications optimized for cloud deployment; Deploy serverless functions and containerized Go applications on AWS; Manage cloud databases, storage, and networking using modern CDK constructs; Apply security best practices, IAM roles, and environment variables securely. The course starts with essential cloud and IaC terminology before walking you through CDK installation, basic resource provisioning, and deploying a functional Go application. You will learn to structure your infrastructure code cleanly and follow modern cloud deployment workflows. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers and Go programmers who want to learn infrastructure as code, with no prior AWS or CDK experience required.
