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 application—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.
