Course Description
AWS supports many programming languages with SDKs. GO is a powerful language, but what is lacking is a complete reference not only for writing applications, such as AWS Lamba Functions, but also for Infrastructure as Code. Starting with basic programming knowledge, you get expert tips from real-world projects on how to build fast, secure and cost-effective applications with GO on AWS.
The course is written for students with basic AWS knowledge and experience in at least one other programming language like python or javascript.
We begin with GO fundamentals with many hints for a student from other languages. Building on that knowledge, we discover the possibilities of the AWS SDK - the software development kit. How to call services on a basic and more abstract level.
To build projects on AWS, you also need infrastructure like a storage bucket or a Lambda function. Modern infrastructure is built with IaC - infrastructure as code. We explore the AWS CDK - the cloud development kit. With GO, you gain speed an another level of type safety.
Having created some resources, we dive into the world of serverless. GO is one of the best languages for serverless programming because of the speed and the go compatibility promise. With python or javascript, you have to update often because of new runtime versions. Not with GO!
Now that we have learned all the building blocks, it’s time to look at more complex architectures. We discuss container and serverless applications, and both build with GO.
The chapter about different types of the automated test give you insights into building applications with high programming quality.
All that is waiting for you, so let`s GO!

This is wonderful! Exactly what I needed to learn right now!
By Víctor Hugo Rangel Macías on 8/7/2025
It is a good course, but once the AWS part started, it felt a bit fast with concepts and coding. If you don't have access to the cloud, some exercises will be hard to complete.

Easy to follow and well explained!
By Ubanagu Obidigbo on 7/25/2025
Overall good. However would have loved a bit more step by step explanation especially task files and some of the codes that integrate with services on AWS. Thanks for taking out time to produce this course.

Good for beginners !

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this course. The content itself is not terrible, but more than a course, this is a collection of simple snippets.
By Michael Nau on 9/1/2023
This is a fantastic intro to both Go and AWS CDK. If you or your team is unwinding Terraform and implementing AWS CDK, this course will help accelerate that.

Great content and good to learn. Looking forward for more!
