Serverless Framework

Simplify serverless development. Master the Serverless Framework to deploy functions, events, and resources to AWS Lambda and beyond.

Writing CloudFormation templates for Lambda is painful. The Serverless Framework abstracts this complexity. This course teaches you to define functions, events (HTTP, S3, Schedule), and resources in a simple `serverless.yml` file. You will learn to deploy services, manage stages (dev/prod), and use plugins to extend functionality (e.g., offline testing). While focused on AWS, the concepts apply to deploying serverless apps anywhere.
