AWS for Developers: Data-Driven Serverless Applications with Kinesis

Course details

Data-driven applications have their application flow governed by the data, and the serverless framework can serve as the web framework to create this kind of application. In this course, join instructor Marcia Villalba as she takes you through an overview of serverless applications and Kinesis, an AWS serverless service. Learn how to design an event-driven application, integrate AWS Lambda and Kinesis streams, set up necessary permissions, and more. Along the way, discover how to leverage Amazon EventBridge and Kinesis Firehose. Be sure to test out your new skills as you progress through the course in the practice challenges at the end of each section.
