Overview

Go deep on building and operating applications on AWS: serverless, APIs, data stores, messaging, auth, and CI/CD. You’ll ship realistic features in labs and prepare systematically for the AWS Certified Developer – Associate (DVA-C02) exam.

Top features

  • Design and implement serverless and API-driven backends using Lambda, API Gateway, and related services.
  • Use DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and event-driven patterns appropriate to production workloads.
  • Apply Cognito, secrets management, and IAM patterns that developers use daily.
  • Build deployment pipelines and articulate trade-offs for interviews and the DVA-C02 exam.
