There has been a growing interest in Serverless computing due to the increase in developer productivity, built in auto-scaling abilities, and reduced operational costs. In combining both microservices and Serverless computing, organizations will benefit from having the servers and capacity planning managed by the cloud provider, making them much easier to deploy and run at scale.

This comprehensive 2-in-1 course is a comprehensive and all-inclusive guide to using the API gateway and incorporating it in your Serverless ecosystem. Create a system where the infrastructure, scalability, and security are managed by AWS. Reduce your support, maintenance, and infrastructure costs. Also explore the power of the Serverless ecosystem with AWS services including DynamoDB, API Gateway, and much more!

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Building a Scalable Serverless Microservice REST Data API, covers practical solutions to building Serverless applications. This course will teach you how to build an end-to-end Serverless application for your organization. We have selected a data API use case that could reduce costs and give you more flexibility in how you and your clients consume or present your application, metrics and insight data. You’ll make use of the latest Serverless deployment and build framework, share your experience on testing, and provide best practices for running a Serverless stack in a production environment.

The second course, Deep Dive into API Gateway and Building a Serverless Application, covers building applications using the API Gateway. In this course you’ll focus on the next component of AWS that offers Serverless computing—the API gateway service. You’ll learn how to develop the various parts of the API gateway. Then you’ll look into deploying the API gateway. You’ll also learn to secure the API gateway. You’ll integrate AWS Lambda and the API gateway.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build secure, cost-effective, and scalable Serverless data API, using the API Gateway service with AWS.
