6 things you will learn
This course is not just about Golang. It contains everything you need to know on DAY 1 when you work with Golang, Lambda, and other AWS services.
Go-Lambda Development
Master the Go-Lambda microservices, and worker development using step by step instructions and best practices.
Learn about AWS Services
Learn various AWS services such as IAM, S3, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, Cloudwatch, Systems Manager, Cognito, API Gateway etc. You will learn why, when and how to use an AWS services with Go-Lambda projects.
Projects
No course is complete without building a project. Apply your learning to build a project using Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, Cloudformation, and other AWS services.
Unit testing & Mocks
Testing is an essential part of any project development. Learn to write unit tests and to use GoMocks, Mockery framework to generate mocks.
Infrastructure-as-code (IAC)
Learn to write Infrastructure-as-code using Cloudformation. No project today is complete without IAC and you don't need to learn it separately in another course. It is all included in this course.
Additional
Learn advanced concepts like Lambda cold-starts, dead-letter queues, security best practices, IAM roles & fine-grained permissions.

Frequently asked questions
What prerequisites should I have before enrolling in this course?
Before enrolling in this course, you should have a basic understanding of programming concepts. Familiarity with the Go programming language will be helpful, as the course starts with writing a simple 'Hello World' program in Golang. Knowledge of cloud computing concepts, particularly AWS, would also be beneficial since the course involves deploying applications using AWS Lambda and CloudFormation.
What types of applications will I learn to build in this course?
In this course, you will learn to build production-ready microservices and REST APIs using Golang and AWS Lambda. You'll also work on creating event-driven serverless applications, utilizing AWS services such as EventBridge and SQS to trigger your Go-Lambda functions. The course covers structuring projects and integrating environment variables and logging into your applications.
Who is the target audience for this course?
This course is ideal for software developers and engineers who want to expand their skills in building serverless applications using Golang and AWS Lambda. It is also suitable for those interested in cloud computing and microservices architecture. The course is designed for those who wish to develop production-ready applications on AWS.
How does the depth and scope of this course compare to other similar courses?
The course focuses specifically on using Golang with AWS Lambda to create serverless applications. It covers crucial aspects such as deploying with AWS Console and CloudFormation, managing logs with the Logrus library, and scheduling functions with EventBridge rules. While it is comprehensive in these areas, it may not cover broader AWS services or other programming languages used with Lambda.
What specific tools or platforms are taught in the course?
The course teaches the use of several specific tools and platforms, including AWS Lambda for serverless computing, AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure as code, and the Logrus library for logging. It also covers AWS SQS for message queuing and EventBridge for scheduling functions. These tools are integral to building and deploying the applications discussed in the course.
What topics are not covered in this course?
This course does not cover non-AWS cloud platforms or other programming languages beyond Golang. It focuses solely on using AWS services to deploy and manage serverless applications. Additionally, it does not delve into broader DevOps practices or tools outside of AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure management.
How much time should I expect to commit to this course?
The course is currently in early-access, which means new content is still being added. While the exact runtime is currently listed as 00:00:00, students should anticipate spending additional time on hands-on practice and exercises to fully grasp the material covered in the lessons. The time commitment will vary based on your prior experience and familiarity with the tools and concepts.
