Master AWS Lambda Functions for Data Engineers using Python (Udemy.com)

The course is good, but the project he is building is 2 big. I would have chosen a smaller one.

Good Explanation of various concepts in detail, I will be looking for his course on automating this stuff using something like AWS CDK - instead of working on AWS management console

The course is fine but I have to put the talk back speed to .75 as the presenter speaks very rapidly with an accent.

I followed his videos on AWS and actually it is prepared so well. Lots of useful information is given. However, My lambda function is not worked but I assume my version of python wasn't matching with AWS's one. Happy with overall but I would like to know more if we get the data from outside database, how it would be?

This cource is excellent for beginers .crisp and clear .easy to follow hands on .

Review: TLDR - compared to top notch Udemy courses this one falls in 3 star ranking due to high level of instructions repetition, lack of 'why' explanations and missing details on Windows environment setup. On the other hand, instructions are so detailed (idiot-proof) that you are able to finish all tasks and course is informative on various way of interacting with AWS Lambda, including various deployment features, also relative to Udemy AWS courses this is great, hence 4 stars. Pros: Course is informative, more 'hands on' than theory (apart from application layout you will see very few presentation slides or animations, but pure coding) and gives a zero to hero approach, including environment setup, which was great for me coming from DB background. I think the layout is ok- first insight on tech stack we are going to use and then how to connect the dots on your local env, finally applying this to AWS Lambda. Cons: At the beginning of the course you are given details on setup of local environment, but one thing is missing - how to use Ubuntu WSL in Visual Studio Code (with AWS credentials setup), which may cause plenty of issues later on as you attempt to execute linux syntax commands in a Visual Studio default Powershell terminal. Also if you want to use AWS Cli in ubuntu, it has to be separately installed there (apart from Windows installation) Moreover Docker doesn't work in WSL v1 so you either have to containerize application in Windows Environment or move to WSL v2 (make sure check your default WSL version to be 2 before starting ubuntu). Fortunately most of the issues is quickly answered. I think it would be also beneficial to give 1minute description on relationships between virtual env / WSL / VSC. Also with any linux command used for the first time, it would be good to have explanation of options used (e.g why 'ls -ltr'?) This course could have been shortened by 20-30% if: Sometimes instructor is troubleshooting his own issues which takes time (e.g. some commands not running etc) Or repeating steps from previous lessons - e.g. Checking whether configuration is ok, which as a learning exercise may be ok, but takes time. Or repeating for 1 minute what we did in an exercise which took 3 minutes Exercices/lessons shouldn't be taking 3 minutes, rather ~10min. Or repeating topics already covered -e.g. sections on S3: lessons 36-38 vs 94-95. Or giving trivial statements - e.g. if you won't tick acknowledge you want I think the author favorite statement is 'this is nothing but…' which is frustrating to hear for 100th time. On some topics lecturer just repeats himself without any further meaningful insight. On the other topics an overview would be helpful -e.g. lecture 77 would greatly benefit from just providing a schema on how deployment process would be arranged (a picture is worth 1000 words). Accent is not that strong and well understandable but I think the instructor could be 10-15% slower - it would help to understand instructor better.

The instructor is doing the setup without giving details about 1. what is ubuntu 2. why we need virtual env for this project.

The content is really good, I highly recommend it. There are some concepts that are repeated several times (unnecessary). Some good additions could be versions/aliases, enabling lambda in VPC.

I was looking for this course from long time. Thanks for creating this wonderful course. Covered each topic in detail and lots of learning is there.

I some chapters your explanation goes too fast and in other chapters you have an entire module only to explain how to configure your environment in windows.
