Amazon Web Services continues its domination as the leading cloud service provider on the market. Amazon Lambda is the part of Amazon Web Services that lets you run your code without provisioning or managing servers. Amazon Lambda is a compute service that enables you to deploy applications and back-end services that operate with zero upfront cost and require no system administration. So, if you’re an IT architect or a developer who wants to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda, then go for this Learning Path. Packts Video Learning Path is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. The highlights of this Learning Path are: Learn to write, run, and deploy Lambda functions in the AWS cloudExplore the best practices to effectively monitor and troubleshoot serverless applications using AWS CloudFrontLet’s take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path starts off with covering the basics of AWS Lambda. You will then learn to build a serverless application wherein you will create a web client, a serverless backend with DynamoDB, and deploy the serverless frontend on CloudFront. You will also be glanced through Eclipse and the AWS Eclipse plugin. Next, you will learn to create and deploy AWS Lambda functions with Java, Python, and C#. You will then learn to build a simple serverless application in Java, a serverless backend with Python, and a serverless project with .NET Core. Moving ahead, you will explore the architecture and components of AWS Lambda. You will learn to integrate AWS Lambda with Simple Storage Service (S3) and DynamoDB. Finally, you will discover how to design and deploy considerations for AWS Lambda. By the end of this Learning Path, you will make the most of AWS Lambda functions to design, build scalable and cost-efficient systems and deploy serverless applications with AWS Lambda. Meet Your Expert(s): We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth: Markus Klems is an expert in software development and system administration for scalable, high-availability and high-performance software systems, such as big data, mobile, web application, and Software-as-a-Service systems. In the context of his research and development work at TU Berlin and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), he has gained in-depth knowledge and experience with complex and large-scale IT systems. He has been working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) since 2008 and is particularly excited about emerging technology trends in the realms of serverless computing and serverless microservice architectures.
