Overview
Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS - 3-Day Instructor-Led Training
Delivered by Cloud Wizard Consulting, an AWS Advanced Training Partner and Select Tier Consulting Partner. Our fully AWS-certified instructors bring real-world serverless production experience to every delivery. With more than 5,000 professionals trained and a 100% certification passing rate, your team is in expert hands.
Who This Course Is For
Developers with some familiarity with serverless architectures and experience building applications on AWS. Teams looking to accelerate cloud-native adoption will leave this course able to independently design, build, secure, and deploy production-ready serverless applications.
What Your Team Will Achieve
After three days of hands-on instruction, participants will be able to:
- Design event-driven serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, and AWS Step Functions
- Build and deploy serverless applications using AWS SAM, AWS CDK, and AWS CloudFormation
- Implement authentication and authorization with Amazon Cognito
- Orchestrate complex workflows with AWS Step Functions (Standard and Express)
- Configure observability using Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, and structured logging
- Secure serverless applications following AWS best practices for APIs, functions, and data stores
- Automate CI/CD pipelines using AWS developer tools and SAM deployment features
- Handle scale through Lambda concurrency management and API Gateway throttling
Hands-On Labs (6+ Progressive Exercises)
Participants complete at least six instructor-guided labs that build toward a complete serverless application:
- Deploying a Simple Serverless Application - Create an HTTP API integrated with AWS Lambda
- Message Fan-Out with Amazon EventBridge - Build an EventBridge bus and routing rules
- Configuring and Testing Lambda Functions - Apply coding best practices, versions, and aliases
- Workflow Orchestration with AWS Step Functions - Build and troubleshoot state machine workflows
- Observability and Monitoring - Implement CloudWatch Logs, metrics, alarms, and X-Ray tracing
- Securing Serverless Applications - Apply security controls to APIs, functions, and data stores
- Serverless CI/CD on AWS - Configure automated deployment pipelines
Real-World Application
The course builds a complete event-driven application throughout all three days - similar to an order processing pipeline where events trigger Lambda functions, messages fan out through EventBridge, workflows orchestrate multi-step processes via Step Functions, and the entire stack deploys through an automated CI/CD pipeline. This mirrors production serverless architectures used in e-commerce, fintech, and SaaS platforms.
Course Structure
Day 1: Serverless fundamentals, API-driven development, authentication with Amazon Cognito, deployment frameworks (SAM, CDK, CloudFormation, Amplify), event-driven patterns with EventBridge and SNS, queues and streams.
Day 2: Lambda best practices (error handling, logging, layers, concurrency, memory optimization), workflow orchestration with Step Functions, observability and monitoring with CloudWatch and X-Ray.
Day 3: Serverless security best practices, handling scale (API Gateway scaling, Lambda concurrency), CI/CD automation with AWS developer tools. Course concludes with a fully deployed, secured, and monitored serverless application with an automated pipeline.
Lab Environment and Data Handling
Each participant receives an isolated lab environment provisioned specifically for the training session. Lab environments are decommissioned after the course concludes. Participant information collected during enrollment is handled in accordance with Cloud Wizard Consulting's data protection policies.
