There are 2 modules in this course

Learners will build, test, and optimize AWS Lambda functions, integrate them with API Gateway, and apply serverless logic to real-world arithmetic operations. This hands-on course empowers learners to design API request structures, validate GET and POST workflows, and enhance Lambda logic for secure and efficient execution.

Throughout the course, learners gain practical experience implementing Python-based Lambda functions, configuring API Gateway endpoints, and interpreting CloudWatch logs to resolve errors. By completing guided demonstrations and real API tests, learners develop the confidence to deploy event-driven microservices without managing servers. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end case study approach, walking learners through every step of building a functional serverless applicationβ€”from foundational concepts to advanced method-selection logic. Instead of abstract theory, each lesson builds directly toward a working, testable system. By the end, learners will be fully prepared to create, troubleshoot, and scale their own serverless workflows using AWS Lambda, making this course ideal for beginners and professionals seeking practical cloud skills.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of AWS Lambda and its role in executing serverless arithmetic operations. Learners explore Python-based Lambda functions and understand how to design and structure API requests using GET and POST methods. By the end of the module, they will have a solid foundation for building and triggering Lambda functions through API Gateway.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
