Create a chat web app using Amazon Web Services - Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, Cognito, CloudFront, and more.
New! Re-recorded for 2024 against the latest AWS services and UI's, including the new API Gateway UI.
Immerse yourself in Amazon Web Services (AWS) with this hands-on, project-based course - and truly internalize some highly valuable skills in the world of technology. We'll walk you through building your own chat website using nothing but AWS services - and no standalone services or server instances at all!
Building a "serverless app" using AWS and its Lambda service is a great introduction to the core services AWS offers. As you create your chat application, you'll learn and use the following AWS services:
S3 (Simple Storage Service) - For storing static HTML and vending it to your users' browsers
Lambda - For executing logic in the cloud for storing and retrieving data in your application
IAM (Identity and Access Management) - For securing access to your services
API Gateway - For presenting a well-modeled API to your clients and automatically generating client-side code to communicate with it
DynamoDB - For quickly storing and retrieving data at scale
Cognito - For managing users, account creation, and logins securely
CloudFront - For accelerating the delivery of your site to end users with a CDN
We'll tie it all together by learning and practicing Javascript, and we'll learn about CORS to grant browsers the permissions they need to run a serverless application.
Even if you're familiar with AWS, you'll learn valuable techniques on how to build a fully functional, dynamic website without maintaining any servers at all - not even via EC2!
Your highly experienced guides through this project are Frank Kane, formerly a senior manager at Amazon, and Brian Tajuddin, a principal engineer also formerly working at Amazon. You'll be learning AWS from people who were there when it was being created. You'll join over 700,000 other students of the Sundog Education team who have leveled up their careers with hot technical skills.
Although this course isn't targeting any specific AWS certification exam, you'll leave it with a great foundation of AWS knowledge that will begin to prepare you for them.

I am a professional software engineer specializing in high-scale enterprise systems. In my career, I've worked on enterprise content integration, customer-facing ecommerce, machine learning, service frameworks, and business tooling. I've spent 17 years working at Amazon and Salesforce, so I've both used and helped build some of the biggest cloud services in the world.
At the start, it was looking like there was more focus to the other technologies like JS etc. than AWS stuff, but after half way through the course, it got interesting and more useful.
Really this course has built the confidance in me in working with AWS and lambda.
Directly to the point 🤌🤌🤌
On the positive side, the course introduces some fundamental AWS services such as Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Cognito, and CloudFront. However:
1. The course mainly involves clicking through the AWS console and pasting pre-made code snippets. This approach offers minimal learning opportunities.
2. The app, as it's built, is not practical. It's error-prone and difficult to replicate due to excessive manual steps in the AWS console, with no CI/CD pipeline in place, no CDK.
3. The choice of technology, particularly the use of jQuery and similar tools, feels outdated.
Great learning experience from the bottom up and the support for the course is much appreciated. All errors I have encountered has been answered in the Q&A session.
Very good information. Instructors are clear on explaining the content.
One of the best AWS project
How is this hands-on if you are copy-pasting code . It becomes so much easier to understand if you write the code yourself.
One of the best hands-on training in Udemy on AWS.
