Learners will analyze images, detect objects and faces, extract text, evaluate unsafe content, and automate workflows using AWS Rekognition and Lambda. This hands-on course equips participants with the essential skills to build intelligent, cloud-native image and video analysis solutions.
Throughout this project-driven journey, learners gain practical experience with object and label detection, image moderation, facial landmarks, celebrity recognition, face comparison, and text extraction. They also learn how to design serverless pipelines that integrate Rekognition with AWS Lambda and SNS to trigger automated processing. By completing the course, learners will be able to confidently apply deep-learning powered visual intelligence features within real-world applicationsβwithout managing complex infrastructure. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, scenario-based approach that mirrors real industry use cases. Instead of abstract theory, learners work directly with live AWS services, exploring how Rekognition functions inside production-ready serverless environments. Whether for content moderation, security automation, metadata extraction, or intelligent media workflows, this course provides the practical foundation needed to implement AI-driven solutions at scale.
This module introduces learners to the core building blocks of a serverless web application, covering AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and the fundamentals of microservices architecture. Through conceptual explanations and practical demonstrations, learners gain a strong foundation in event-driven design, cloud-native patterns, and serverless components essential for building modern, scalable applications.
