About This Course
⌄
This course is a hands-on, practical training program designed to teach data engineers, cloud practitioners, and automation specialists how to build scalable, serverless data pipelines using AWS Lambda. This course provides an in-depth understanding of how to create event-driven workflows, process data at scale, and integrate Lambda with core AWS services using Python. You’ll learn how to write efficient Lambda functions, trigger them with event sources such as S3, Kinesis, DynamoDB, and EventBridge, and build end-to-end data processing pipelines without managing servers.
The course also covers IAM permissions, networking, monitoring, error handling, environment variables, packaging dependencies, and optimizing performance and cost. Through real-world examples and guided labs, you’ll develop the skills to build production-ready serverless data engineering solutions using Python and AWS-native tools.
