Do I need prior serverless experience for this course?

No. The course starts with serverless fundamentals and progressively covers event-driven design, multi-cloud functions, state management, and advanced topics like security and cost optimization.

Which cloud platforms are covered?

The course covers AWS Lambda, Azure Functions (including Durable Functions), and Google Cloud Functions. You'll learn the strengths of each platform and how to build portable serverless applications.

Will I learn about serverless databases and storage?

Yes. Dedicated modules cover serverless databases (DynamoDB, Cosmos DB), storage options (S3, Blob Storage), API Gateway integration, and patterns for efficient data management in serverless environments.

How does this course address serverless cost management?

A dedicated module covers the serverless cost model, resource optimization strategies, and practical techniques for cost-effective deployments — helping you avoid unexpected bills.

Is the course delivered live or is it pre-recorded?

The course is delivered live and online. You can interact with the instructor in real-time, ask questions via chat or audio, and participate in hands-on exercises. Video recordings are provided after the course for review.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes, all participants receive a shareable online certificate of attendance. You can also take an optional 1-hour exam, with your score printed on the certificate.

Serverless Architectures Complete Course for Developers and Architects

About the Mastering Serverless Architectures Course

Serverless architectures are revolutionizing the way applications are built and deployed. By removing the need to manage servers, serverless computing allows developers to focus on writing code that scales automatically in response to demand. This 2-day workshop covers the fundamentals of serverless architectures, event-driven design, and hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Participants will learn to build serverless applications, manage state, handle events, and integrate with other cloud services. The course is packed with practical exercises, real-world examples, and best practices for creating efficient and scalable serverless solutions.

What You'll Learn in This workshop

Understand the principles of serverless architectures and event-driven design
Build, deploy, and manage serverless applications on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
Implement security, monitoring, and observability best practices in serverless environments
Optimize serverless applications for cost-effectiveness and scalability
