Building Serverless Apps with AI Services on AWS

Course details

Looking to pair the flexibility and efficiency of serverless architecture with the power of generative AI? In this course, instructor Marcia Villalba shows you how to build serverless applications using AI services on AWS. The course focuses on integrating various services such as Amazon AI Service, Amazon Bedrock, AWS SAM, AWS Step Functions, and EventBridge. Along the way, practice your new skills in real time with hands-on demos and projects, building an application that can transcribe a video, translate its subtitles to another language, and then generate a title and a video description using generative AI.

Note: This course is designed for AWS developers and architects. Prior experience with AWS is required.
