Serverless Architecture & Microservices on AWS

Course Overview

Architect modern serverless backends that scale automatically without managing traditional virtual servers. Learn to structure event-driven applications, connect asynchronous queue workflows, write cloud functions, and manage single-digit millisecond latency databases.

What You Will Learn

• Write, package, and deploy serverless code functions using AWS Lambda.
• Design event-driven workflows using Amazon EventBridge and Simple Queue Service (SQS).
• Implement single-table schema designs in Amazon DynamoDB for high-throughput reads.
• Secure serverless endpoints using AWS API Gateway and JWT authorization controls.

Syllabus Breakdown

• Module 1: Serverless Execution Core: Lambda function lifecycle, memory tuning, execution environments, and cold starts.
• Module 2: Event-Driven Routing: EventBridge rules, SQS queues, SNS notifications, and decoupled event handling.
• Module 3: NoSQL Database Modeling: DynamoDB primary keys, secondary indexes, single-table design, and queries.
• Module 4: Gateway Routing & Monitoring: API Gateway routing, CloudWatch metrics, X-Ray tracing, and deployment frameworks.

Who This Is For
