Serverless Architecture Build Efficient Cloud Apps #259018

Share This Course

Serverless computing is revolutionizing how modern applications are built, deployed, and scaled. By abstracting infrastructure management, serverless architectures allow developers to focus solely on code, reducing operational overhead and accelerating time-to-market. However, leveraging serverless effectively requires a shift in mindset and new patterns for design, security, and cost optimization. Serverless Architecture: Build Efficient Cloud Apps is a hands-on course that provides a comprehensive guide to building scalable, cost-effective, and maintainable applications using serverless technologies. From event-driven functions to managed services and beyond, this course equips participants with the skills to harness the full potential of serverless computing on major cloud platforms.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand serverless fundamentals, including benefits, use cases, and limitations.
Develop event-driven applications using Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions.
Integrate serverless components with databases, APIs, storage, and messaging services.
Implement security best practices for serverless applications (e.g., IAM, least privilege, secret management).
Optimize performance and cost in serverless environments.
Design and deploy end-to-end serverless solutions for real-world scenarios.
