Serverless Development on AWS

Learning Path on Pluralsight

This repository is for the Serverless Development on AWS learning path for Pluralsight.

Approach

This learning path is focused on creating a modern full-stack serverless application on AWS using real world techniques and approaches. It follows the following opinionated concepts:

• It leverages a monorepo structure with Yarn workspaces
• The backend services are created for Node.js with JavaScript and are exposed as REST API's
• The web application is created using React using hooks
• The infrastructure is defined with TypeScript using the AWS CDK
• Continuous delivery is implemented using an AWS CDK Pipeline
• No third-party services are leveraged as the focus is on a cloud-native approach with AWS only

Following Along

This repository is designed to be used alongside the learning path. While the course consists of 11 courses, there are 5 courses where the concepts are applied to the sample application. For each of these courses, you will have a starting and ending branch. In addition, there will be a link to compare those two branches.
