This course will get you started on migration considerations and introduces common patterns that you can use as the basis for many serverless applications. In this course, you will learn about the different compute and data store services that you need to consider and the trade-offs for each. You will also learn about the architectures for common patterns such as microservices, web applications, data streams, Alexa skills, and mobile backends, and the service configurations you can make for each.

• Course level: Intermediate
• Duration: 2 hours

Activities

This course includes presentations, videos, and assessments.

Course objectives

In this course, you will learn to:
