AWS SAM Framework and AWS Lambda
 
Unlock the potential of AWS SAM Framework and AWS Lambda Functions to construct practical serverless applications seamlessly integrated with AWS Services.

Description:

Discover the power of AWS SAM Framework (Serverless Application Model) and AWS Lambda, the optimal approach for crafting scalable, dependable serverless applications, and deploying AWS Lambda functions within Amazon Web Services. The beauty of serverless lies in its serverless nature, eliminating the need for server management.

In this course, you'll delve straight into deploying AWS Lambda functions and defining and configuring them using the AWS SAM Framework.

In essence, you will:

- Eliminate the manual creation of serverless infrastructures via the AWS Management Console.
- Consolidate all configurations and deployments into a single YAML file.
- Abandon the task of packaging functions into zip files and manually uploading them to the AWS cloud.
- Utilize the AWS SAM CLI and SAM Framework to accomplish these tasks swiftly via the Command Line Interface.

Now is the prime opportunity to become proficient in AWS SAM Framework and AWS Lambda Functions to swiftly configure, develop, and deploy serverless applications.

AWS Lambda functions to alleviate the burden of server management - you craft a function, and AWS handles the rest! Moreover, you save on costs since billing is based on usage - no running functions mean no charges. With AWS Lambda functions, scaling up or down is swift, sans the need for server reconfiguration.

What You'll Learn:

- Master the proper development and deployment of AWS Lambda functions using the AWS SAM Framework.
- Grasp both fundamental and advanced AWS Lambda concepts.
- Deploy three real-world projects that interface with S3, SES, Step Function, SNS, EventBridge, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EC2 & CloudWatch using the SAM Framework.
- Learn YAML and proficiently configure and manage your serverless applications.

Requirements:

- Basic knowledge of Python or NodeJS for scripting is advantageous.
- Preferably, I would have a rudimentary understanding of the AWS Cloud.
- Recent Mac / Linux / Windows machine.
- Familiarity with the command line is advantageous.
- Eagerness to explore new technologies.

For this course, we'll deploy several real-world functions to AWS Lambda.
