About the course

In this course, we’ll be building on serverless fundamentals and explore how we can leverage various AWS services to build a basic full-stack (front end, business logic, and back end) application without any virtual machines or servers to maintain. Knowledge of serverless fundamentals is expected prior to this course, as we’ll be more hands-on and see it work firsthand. Some of the AWS services we’ll work on during this course are:

  • S3
  • CloudFront
  • Lambda
  • RDS Aurora Serverless
