Course Description
Master AWS Lambda and the Entire Serverless Ecosystem with the Most In-Depth, Hands-On Bootcamp Available
If you're serious about becoming a cloud-native developer or architect, this is the course that gets you there—faster, smarter, and with real-world confidence.
Serverless Computing isn’t just the future—it’s the present. AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Step Functions are driving a new wave of scalable, cost-effective, cloud-native applications. Companies are rapidly adopting serverless architectures, and certified, hands-on professionals are in high demand.
This 2nd Edition is not just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation.
Built from the ground up, this course dives deeper, explains clearer, and takes you further into the AWS serverless universe than ever before. With a laser focus on real-world skills, this course combines foundational knowledge with hands-on Power Labs that mirror what you’ll actually be doing on the job.
Whether you're preparing for AWS Certifications or building production-grade solutions, this course is your complete playbook.

Here’s What You’ll Master Inside
The Core of Serverless Development:
Deep-dive into AWS Lambda—triggers, context, VPC access, Layers, container packaging, and performance optimization
Master API Gateway—staging, authentication, throttling, documentation, and error handling
Build resilient, scalable systems with Amazon DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS/SNS, and Step Functions
Build Real Projects with Confidence: You won’t just learn theory. You’ll build hands-on serverless solutions through guided Power Labs, including:
A production-ready Serverless API with Observability baked in
Event-driven apps using SQS, SNS, and EventBridge
Blue/green deployments with SAM and CodeDeploy
Multi-region DynamoDB with global tables
Real-world DevOps integration using AWS CI/CD tools
And so much more...
Each lab is designed to simulate real challenges you’ll face as a cloud engineer, solution architect, or developer—and to prepare you to solve them.
Cloud-Native by Design. Production-Ready by Default. We teach you to think in cloud-native patterns. From telemetry and observability with AWS X-Ray and Lambda Powertools, to automating infrastructure with AWS SAM, this course pushes you to design, build, and deploy production-grade applications, not just classroom demos.

The course explains pretty well a lot of aws tools, like lambdas, cloudfront, API gateway, kinesis, dynamodb and so on. Unfortunately, it is not updated (2022) and the aws interface changed a lot, but you can just find the options in the new interface anyway and keep following the course, but because of this reason I chose to set 4 stars.

Thank you Riyaz Sayyad for a fascinating and comprehensive course on such an important topic. The theory was presented in an interesting and fascinating way including examples and the projects went down to such important details that I will surely return to them again and again. Recommends your courses and prepares for your next course.

I have been following all courses of Riyaz, what an explanation!!! This is the best server-less stack courses out there, deep explanation and covering all the required stuff and the way Riyaz explains it makes it much easier, I am a core python developer, I am able to complete the course by taking reference from NodeJs videos and I am able to replicate the same in Python. @Riyaz, do you have any plans to include identity pools implementation for Cognito?
By Yury Yastrebtsov on 3/1/2021
Amazing course with a lot of hands-on tasks and very well explanations. It covers a wide stack of technologies, approaches. Ryaz explained a lot of how to setup DEV environment, deployment with many solutions and other really useful features for next usage on real projects. I have only one request - please, include in this and other your courses some exercises about debug a code on local environment, sometimes it was quite complex to understand why my code is not working as expected. But any way it was the best course that I learned on Udemy, thank you so much!

a lot of good information
but after 10 min you are going to sleep..
too much monotonic
By Anonymous on 9/17/2020
Still good introduction of AWS stuff however, the coding part is rather weak specifically the authentication approach in project sections
