Deepen your proficiency in AWS Lambda, the powerful serverless computing service from Amazon. AWS Lambda allows developers to execute code without managing servers, making it a key tool for reducing costs, building efficient architectures, and deploying microservices effectively in cloud environments. In this hands-on interactive course, instructor Rick Crisci outlines the skills you need to start creating, deploying, and troubleshooting Lambda functions. Each lab is designed to reinforce theoretical concepts, covering essential topics such as navigating the Lambda console, scaling functions, integrating with services such as EventBridge and CloudWatch, managing concurrency, and optimizing function performance.
This course covers practical skills and insights that are invaluable for both real-world professional projects and AWS certifications such as AWS Certified Developer Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, and AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional.
