Building REST APIs with Serverless on AWS
 
Course Description
Building REST APIs with Serverless on AWS is a hands-on training program designed to teach developers and cloud engineers how to design, build, deploy, and optimize fully serverless APIs using AWS-managed services. This course walks you step-by-step through creating production-ready REST APIs without managing servers, using services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, DynamoDB, and more.
You’ll learn how to architect serverless backends, write efficient Lambda functions, configure API Gateway routes and integrations, manage authentication and authorization, store and query data using DynamoDB, and implement observability using CloudWatch. The course also covers deployment automation using AWS SAM or the Serverless Framework, ensuring your APIs are scalable, secure, and easy to maintain.
 
Through practical exercises, real-world examples, and best practices, you will gain the skills needed to create reliable, cost-efficient serverless applications on AWS.
