Course Description

PS:

  1. Please do NOT join the course if you do NOT have any basic working knowledge of AWS Console and AWS Services like S3, IAM, VPC, Security Groups etc. AWS Beginners may struggle understanding some of the topics.

  2. Course explains all the labs. If you want to practice labs, it would require AWS Account and may cost $$.

  3. Basic working knowledge of Redshift is recommended, but not a must.

  4. This course has been designed for intermediate and expert AWS Developers / Architects / Administrators.

  5. Course covers each and every feature that AWS has released since 2018 for AWS Glue, AWS QuickSight, AWS Athena, and Amazon Redshift Spectrum, and it regularly updated with every new feature released for these services.

Serverless is the future of cloud computing and AWS is continuously launching new services on Serverless paradigm. AWS launched Athena and QuickSight in Nov 2016, Redshift Spectrum in Apr 2017, and Glue in Aug 2017. Data and Analytics on AWS platform is evolving and gradually transforming to serverless mode.


Businesses have always wanted to manage less infrastructure and more solutions. Big data challenges are continuously challenging the infrastructure boundaries. Having Serverless Storage, Serverless ETL, Serverless Analytics, and Serverless Reporting, all on one cloud platform had sounded too good to be true for a very long time. But now its a reality on AWS platform. AWS is the only cloud provider that has all the native serverless components for a true Serverless Data Lake Analytics solution.


It's not a secret that when a technology is new in the industry, professionals with expertise in new technologies command great salaries. Serverless is the future, Serverless is the industry demand, and Serverless is new. It's the perfect time and opportunity to jump into Serverless Analytics on AWS Platform.


In this course, we would learn the following:

1) We will start with Basics on Serverless Computing and Basics of Data Lake Architecture on AWS.

2) We will learn Schema Discovery, ETL, Scheduling, and Tools integration using Serverless AWS Glue Engine built on Spark environment.

3) We will learn to develop a centralized Data Catalogue too using Serverless AWS Glue Engine.

4) We will learn to query data lake using Serverless Athena Engine build on the top of Presto and Hive.

5) We will learn to bridge the data warehouse and data lake using Serverless Amazon Redshift Spectrum Engine built on the top of Amazon Redshift platform.

6) We will learn to develop reports and dashboards, with a powerpoint like slideshow feature, and mobile support, without building any report server, by using Serverless Amazon QuickSight Reporting Engines.

7) We will finally learn how to source data from data warehouse, data lake, join data, apply row security, drill-down, drill-through and other data functions using the Serverless Amazon QuickSight Reporting Engines.


This course understands your time is important, and so the course is designed to be laser-sharp on lecture timings, where all the trivial details are kept at a minimum and focus is kept on core content for experienced AWS Developers / Architects / Administrators. By the end of this course, you can feel assured and confident that you are future-proof for the next change and disruption sweeping the cloud industry.

I am very passionate about AWS Serverless computing on Data and Analytics platform, and am covering A-to-Z of all the topics discussed in this course.

So if you are excited and ready to get trained on AWS Serverless Analytics platform, I am ready to welcome you in my class !

הקורס מעולה, עוזר מאוד להבין את הארכיטקטורה הכללית של פיתוח בענן AWS עם שירותים ללא שרת. למדתי המון על התנאים המגבלות והיכולותהשונות, איך לפתח מאפס ואיך לנהל את הכל. הקורס מקיף מאוד שימו לב נכון לכתיבת ההודעה (מאי 2025) הקורס מעודכן רק עד שנת 2020 כלומר חסרים הרבה מאוד עדכונים חדשים לאחר הקורס יש לקחת את הזמן ולהתעדכן מול AWS מה חדש והאם נוספו יכולות שלא הוצגו בקורס

This course is titled as Mastering few of serverless AWS technologies. But I feel the depth to which this course goes to does not justify the term "mastering". I would have preferred a more meaningful samples, hands-on labs and deep dive into concepts to call myself a master in these technologies.

By Anonymized User on 6/23/2023

The course is too much based on theory and too little in practical excercises. The course is based in a older version of AWS services. It has update chapters but now is the time to rework it from scratch. Last but not least, the accent of the speaker may a bit of a problem, but the serious problem is that he do not proofread subtitles and capitions. Since the transcription engine itself is fooled by the accent of the teacher, sometimes captions are very very funny.

I found this course just about reading presentations. Lab Sessions are not as expected, most of this information is available in AWS documentation. Expected more practical knowledge but it's not included. Most of the focus is on Quicksight while the course name starts with Mastering Glue very basic points about glue are covered.

By Hermes Breda on 12/29/2021

course focus lot on quicksight. as developer this is soo irrelevant and repetitive to me as it pretty similar to powerBI. The guy spent a very little time on technical parts...if you are an analyst it could be good but for developers/technical people i will stay away from it

By Gopinath Dash on 4/14/2021

The course is great! Sid helped to explain the theory and perform the lab. Refreshing the theory just before the Lab is really helpful and revision of previous theory session. I wish Sid could have showed the lab from very beginning like creating the bucket like sid-city-data. That would help more students who has never created any S3 before. This could have been only 5 minutes more to the course. Otherwise the course is excellent! Loved it!

By Chatterjee on 12/20/2020

Easy to understand. Well explained and no fake accent (which is so prevalent in many courses on Udemy). Very good course for someone who is a beginner in AWS Glue and Redshift.

By Ray Serrano on 12/13/2020

Good so far.

Thanks for this course sir.

By Madhur Sambhar on 11/19/2020

The course is quite detailed and meticulous. Siddhartha is quite conversant with the concepts and nicely explains them. The pre-requisite is also covered at important places. The labs are good. I recommend this course.
