Getting Started with Serverless Computing on AWS

Overview The Getting Started With Serverless Computing learning path provides a practical introduction to the world of serverless computing. We start with an overview of what serverless computing is and how it can be used in modern day application design. We then learn how to create restful application interfaces and to create simple serverless functions using the AWS Lambda service. We then walk through creating an API Gateway end point, a Lambda function using mock data and then a Lambda function to query and return data from our API gateway.  The learning path includes a mix of courses with hands-on labs to help you fully understand the concepts of serverless computing and learn the hands-on aspects of building serverless solutions.  We are going to do a LOT of labs in this learning path! Labs are the best way to understand the benefits of Lambda. The best way to learn how to use it is to get your hands dirty trying it out for yourself! The labs extend your knowledge and understanding and show you how to get the most benefit from Lambda functions in processing day to day tasks.  By the end of this learning path, you will be able to recognize and explain the core aspects of serverless computing.
