This course gives you a thorough introduction to the python programming language. You'll start by learning the definition of python, its history, semantics, and how it works. The first week concludes by writing a python script to solve a problem. In Week 2, you'll learn about Serverless Architectures and understand the differences between microservices, service-oriented and monolith architectures. You'll build a microservices architecture by learning how to use the following tools: AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Cloud9. It's then time to go deep with AWS Databases. You'll see Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB in action, visualizing the important role they play in developing applications in python. The course's final week will cover application integration services. Amazon's Simple Notification Service (SQS), Simple Queue Service (SQS), and EventBridge take center stage as important “glue” components for scalable, cloud-based applications. You'll close the course with a hands-on project, writing some code to use some hardcoded data to write to dynamodb and then convert that into a lambda function.
What's inside
Syllabus
This module focuses on software architecture. You learn about AWS Lambda as a home for your application code. You also investigate three different types of application architecture: microservices architecture, monolithic architecture, and service-oriented architecture. You walk through a conceptual ecommerce application, and compare how to build an application based on each architecture type. Next, you learn how to expose your application logic as an application programming interface (API). In a lab environment, you deploy a Lambda function and an Amazon API Gateway API by using the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM).
