This repository is for the Serverless Development on AWS learning path for Pluralsight.
This learning path is focused on creating a modern full-stack serverless application on AWS using real world techniques and approaches. It follows the following opinionated concepts:
- It leverages a monorepo structure with Yarn workspaces
- The backend services are created for Node.js with JavaScript and are exposed as REST API's
- The web application is created using React using hooks
- The infrastructure is defined with TypeScript using the AWS CDK
- Continuous delivery is implemented using an AWS CDK Pipeline
- No third-party services are leveraged as the focus is on a cloud-native approach with AWS only
This repository is designed to be used alongside the learning path. While the course consists of 11 courses, there are 5 courses where the concepts are applied to the sample application. For each of these courses, you will have a starting and ending branch. In addition, there will be a link to compare those two branches.
Learn about leveraging Amazon S3 and CloudFront to distribute serverless web applications on a global scale.
Learn about using AWS Lambda as your compute service while exposing an API with API Gateway all while using Amazon DynamoDB to store application data.
Learn about using Amazon EventBridge alongside Amazon S3 and Step Functions to create powerful microservices for your serverless application.
Learn about securing serverless applications with Amazon Cognito for both web applications and the API tier.
Learn about monitoring your serverless applications with Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray as well as creating custom operational dashboards and alarms.
