Course Description

Serverless computing will shape the future of web developmentsince it allows you to get rid of many issues "traditional" web hosting poses. Now's the time to dive into this exciting new technology!
Unlike in traditional web hosting, where you spin up servers, configure them and then deploy your code, in serverless applications, you don't manage any servers! Instead, you only provide your code and define when it should get executed. Done!
Without managing any servers, you typically pay way less (since you got no overhead capacity), can react much better to incoming traffic spikes and don't have to worry about server security!
For these very reasons, it's no wonder that serverless computing is on the rise, with more and more companies adopting it! Learn it now to gain anedge and either use it for your own projects or apply for high-paid jobs!
What does this course offer then?
This course will introduce you to serverless computingandthen quickly dive into how to build serverless apps with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Specifically, you will learn:
how you can build a RESTAPI without worrying about servers, using AWSAPI Gatewaytoset up your on-demand code via AWSLambdahow to execute that Lambda code whenever incoming requests reach your defined REST endpointshow you can store data in a database - naturally without managing any database servers!
We won't stop therethough!
Instead, you'll then dive even deeper into serverless computing and learn:
how you can add user authentication to your existing frontend apps and how you can then also protect your REST APIagainst unauthenticated access with ease!
how you can easily integrate a complete user sign up &sign in flow (including user confirmation) into ANYapp (web app, iOS or Android app!) with AWSCognitohow to deploy your web app in a serverless mannerhow to speed up the delivery of your static web app assetshow to secure your serverless appwhat else you can build with the services covered in this course and which otherservices might be interesting to youwhere to dive deeper regarding advanced development workflowsand much more!
Is this course for you?
Now that you know what this course offers, is it the right choice for you? Which skills should you bring?
This course is absolutely the right choice for youif you're interested in providing great web applications without worrying about the provisioning of servers.
It's also the right choice if you already got experience as a system administrator but are interested in keeping up with the latest developments and the many new possibilities serverless computing offers.
You will need some basic AWSknowledge, or the willingness to dive deeper into AWSalongside taking this course. Additionally, a credit card is required for signing up to AWS.
Finally, you should be familiar withAPIs and SPAs (Single-Page-Applications)and which role they play in today's web development environment. You don't need to know how to create them though.
I'd be very happy to welcome you on board!
Who this course is for:
Anyone who's interested in focusing on the core business logic instead of the infrastructure needed to run an API and/ or SPAAnyone who wants to use modern techniques to create highly scalable and extremely cost-efficient web appsAnyone who works with APIs and/ or SPAs on a regular basis and wants to learn how to create flexible and cost-effective web appsEvery developer who loves the "Dev" in "DevOps" but would be happy to make the "Ops" part easier

I LOVE Maximilian's courses, he is SO good at keeping his courses up to date, and he gives amazing support! He shows up all the other lecturers, they are terrible compared to Maximilian!!! I wish Maximilian taught French, I'd find it so much easier to learn. Max please learn French so you can teach it to me!

By Mark Artim on 11/14/2020

It's a perfect match for what I am trying to learn right now. Max is really great.

Nice way of explanation.

By Ujjwal Srivastav on 11/7/2020

Great explanation that too in depth

By Damien Briggs on 11/7/2020

Excellent overview for developers. It is a high-level course, but gives enough detail to handle the request / response cycle, post into DynamoDB, authenticate users etc. Would strongly recommend this course to those starting out with Lambda, Dynamo, API gateway etc.
