Cloud Academy – Serverless Python Web Development For AWS

Consider how many servers it takes to run your web applications. For larger companies there may be thousands of servers that need to be managed across the different apps, both public and private. You’re paying for every second your servers are running. When they’re sitting idle, you’re paying for the servers to wait until the next request.

While not every application can be easily ported to be a serverless application, many new applications and APIs are great candidates. And the value is that with serverless you pay for what you use. This means that you’re not going to pay for servers to sit idle. It also means that you don’t need to tie your operations team up with server management; no more OS patching, systems monitoring, and other management tasks.

Part of building native serverless applications is selecting services that are the best fit for a task. These days there are so many great managed services for things such as user authentication, payment processing, image recognition and more. With the ubiquity of all of these services you’ll be able to create fully serverless applications.

The goal of this learning path is to teach developers how to create a fully serverless web application using Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, S3, and DynamoDB. In order to accomplish this there are several courses covering the individual services to get you up-to-speed. Then the final course walks through combining all of these services into one application. The end result will be a multi-user todo list application.
