Getting Started with Serverless Framework and CI/CD Pipelines

Transitioning to cloud-native development requires a shift in how we deploy and manage infrastructure. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of serverless architecture using the industry-standard Serverless Framework. You will start by understanding essential serverless terminology, core cloud resources, and how to structure your development environment. By completing this course, you will be able to confidently configure, deploy, and automate serverless applications using modern continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices. What you'll learn: - Understand core serverless concepts and infrastructure-as-code principles - Write and structure a robust serverless.yml configuration file from scratch - Configure secure IAM roles and permissions to enforce least-privilege access - Map HTTP events and API endpoints to serverless functions - Set up automated CI/CD pipelines for reliable, hands-free deployments - Apply modern observability and monitoring practices to track serverless health You will begin with fundamental definitions and configuration syntax before progressing to security roles and deployment automation. This structured approach ensures you build a solid theoretical foundation before applying your knowledge to real-world deployment workflows. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers, software engineers, and DevOps newcomers who want to learn serverless deployment without needing prior cloud administration experience.
