Learners will understand, implement, and evaluate a real-world serverless automation workflow using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and Amazon S3. By the end of this course, learners will be able to design API-driven backend solutions, implement GET and PUT operations using Python, and automate data processing in a scalable cloud environment.
This course benefits learners by providing hands-on exposure to a practical DevOps case study rather than isolated service tutorials. Learners gain clarity on how AWS services interact in real production-like scenarios, strengthening their ability to build, troubleshoot, and optimize serverless architectures. The step-by-step progressionβfrom project foundations to end-to-end automationβensures learners develop both conceptual understanding and applied skills. What makes this course unique is its case-study-driven approach, focusing on real automation challenges commonly encountered in DevOps and cloud roles. Instead of abstract examples, learners work through a complete serverless workflow that mirrors industry use cases, making the course highly relevant for aspiring DevOps engineers, cloud practitioners, and backend developers seeking job-ready AWS skills.
This module introduces the DevOps case study and focuses on building the foundational backend logic using Python and AWS Lambda. Learners explore the project architecture, understand serverless concepts, and implement GET-based functionality to retrieve data through API-driven workflows.
