Building AWS Lambda Deployment Pipelines with SAM and CodeCatalyst

Deploying serverless applications manually often leads to configuration errors, security gaps, and slow release cycles. Automating your deployment pipeline ensures that every code change is tested, packaged, and deployed safely and consistently. In this text-based course, you will learn how to design and build automated CI/CD pipelines for serverless applications. By implementing AWS SAM and CodeCatalyst, you will transform your development workflow from manual uploads to a modern, automated release process that adheres to cloud security best practices. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles of serverless architecture, AWS Lambda, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Configure AWS SAM templates to define and package serverless resources systematically. Set up automated workflows in CodeCatalyst to compile, test, and deploy code changes. Apply security best practices by managing deployment permissions using IAM roles with least privilege. Implement environment separation to safely promote changes from development to production. Monitor deployments using logs and basic observability practices to ensure application health. You will start with foundational serverless concepts and AWS SAM basics before diving into pipeline configuration. Through clear written explanations and practical configuration examples, you will progress to building a fully automated pipeline that deploys a live serverless application. This course is designed for software developers, cloud enthusiasts, and DevOps beginners who want to learn serverless automation. No prior DevOps or pipeline experience is required, though a basic understanding of cloud concepts is helpful. Start building secure, automated pipelines for your serverless applications today.
