Modern applications are built serverless-first, a strategy that prioritizes the adoption of serverless services, so you can increase agility throughout your application stack. Serverless is a type of application that eliminates all infrastructure management, simplifying the developer experience. Going serverless is an amazing experience and this training gives you all the knowledge required to explore its fullest potential.
The 3-day intermediate course about Developing Serverless Solutions on AWS trains you with the best practices for building serverless applications in the AWS serverless platform. This course includes presentations, hands-on labs, demonstrations, videos, knowledge checks, and group exercises.
