Get hands-on experience with AWS and serverless applications at one of our free, guided workshops. In these workshops, we will introduce the basics of building serverless applications and microservices using services like AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon S3. You'll learn to build and deploy your own serverless application using these services for common use cases like web applications, analytics, and more.

Scenario: This exciting new theme park, built on the remote island of Isla Sanserver, combines rollercoasters and rides with shows and exhibits. The park will open today and expects up to 50,000 visitors, but the app isn't finished! You only have 2 hours to assemble the remaining pieces.
Innovator Island is rolling out a mobile app that provides thousands of visitors with wait times, photo opportunities, notification alerts, and language translation for visitors who need it. In this workshop, you'll get hands-on experience building a scalable serverless application with a single-page application (SPA) front-end that delivers a feature-rich user experience.
Expect to get a better understanding of event-driven computing and real time messaging, as well practical hands-on experience deploying a serverless mobile front-end and using IoT to send messages to thousands of users in real time.
Scenario: It's your first week at a cutting-edge new startup, Wild Rydes. They need your help building their unicorn ride sharing platform using serverless architectures. People trying to get home from happy hour are depending on you.
Introducing Wild Rydes, a new innovative unicorn transportation service using AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon Kinesis to get people to their destination faster and hassle-free. You simply open the Wild Rydes app, request a unicorn, and then wait for the nearest unicorn to arrive and pick you up. It’s better, faster, safer, and more magical.
With fresh venture capital funding, Wild Rydes seeks your help to build its technology platform with serverless architectures. Hop on board today and help Wild Rydes build the future of magical transportation!
AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running. Just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability.
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. Amazon API Gateway handles all the tasks involved in accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fast and flexible NoSQL database service for all applications that need consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale. It is a fully managed cloud database and supports both document and key-value store models. Its flexible data model and reliable performance make it a great fit for mobile, web, gaming, ad tech, IoT, and many other applications.
Amazon Kinesis makes it easy to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data so you can get timely insights and react quickly to new information. With Kinesis, you can ingest real-time data such as website clickstreams into your data stores, or build your own applications using this data. Kinesis enables you to process data as it arrives, instead of having to wait until all your data is collected before processing can begin.
AWS Step Functions makes it easy to coordinate the components of serverless applications and microservices using visual workflows. Step Functions provides a graphical console to arrange and orchestrate the functions of your application as a series of steps. This makes it simple to build, run, and scale multistep applications.
Six things you need to know before attending an AWS serverless workshop:
All participants must have an AWS account established and ready to use at the event. You must also bring your own laptop.
There is no charge to attend.
Basic familiarity with AWS and services like AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Kinesis is recommended but not required.
Both workshops will teach you the essentials of building serverless applications using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. However, each workshop has a slightly different use case focus and each workshop may cover some different AWS services from the other.
Each workshop will last 2-3 hours.
Please contact your account manager who can identify when the next virtual or in person workshop to suit your requirements will be running.
