Modern cloud development requires more than just writing code. Developers need to build secure, event-driven applications that scale reliably across distributed systems. This course enables participants to develop cloud-native solutions using AWS SDKs and key services like Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway. Through labs and guided examples, they will integrate, deploy, and secure applications using best practices.
Learning Outcomes:
Set up and use the AWS SDK for supported programming languages.
Build cloud applications using services such as S3, DynamoDB, and Lambda.
Implement event-driven designs with SQS, SNS, and Step Functions.
Secure applications using IAM and Amazon Cognito.
Deploy applications using Elastic Beanstalk and CloudFormation.
Key Topics:
Developer tools, SDKs, and authentication
Storage and NoSQL data design with S3 and DynamoDB
Event-driven architecture using Lambda and Step Functions
Messaging and integration with SQS, SNS, and API Gateway
Application caching with ElastiCache and CloudFront
CI/CD, containers, and DevOps deployment models
Application security and user identity management
Infrastructure as code and deployment automation
