This course will get you started on deploying applications through the serverless lens. In this course, you will learn what an automated pipeline for a serverless application might look like using tools from the AWS developer tools suite and the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). You will also learn about serverless application deployment best practices and approaches and the features available within AWS. Finally, you will learn how to implement an automated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline and the automated invocation mechanisms that you can use for autonomous deployments.
