AWS Lambda and Python (Full Course) – Beginner to Advanced

Important Update on 24.10.2023


  • Added a new section on Generative AI - Build end to end Manufacturing Industry use case with AWS Bedrock (Cohere Foundational Model) + AWS Lambda + AWS API Gateway)  - Refer to Section 10

  • Welcome to the most comprehensive AWS Lambda, Python(Boto3) and Serverless Course on Udemy from an instructor with actual enterprise hands-on implementation experience migrating more than 1000+ workloads for Fortune 100 companies.

  • This is a course for AWS Lambda Beginners and Intermediates planning to gain expertise in using designing and implementing AWS Serverless solutions and writing Lambda functions using Python(Boto3) with no previous coding experience or experience in a different programming language.

It starts from absolute basics on Python and AWS Serverless Services and then builds on that to write Lambda functions to create AWS Resources and finally culminating in developing advanced three real-world enterprise use case.

(Note : If you are an advanced user of AWS Lambda and Serverless, please review the course content to determine suitability as this course will start from absolute basics and then gradually cover advanced use cases)


  1. The first  project is a common banking and retail industry use-case where the bank gets a regular feed through a json file which triggers the lambda function via a S3 event notification, the Lambda functions then reads the data in the json file and inserts the data into DynamoDB.

  2. The Second project focuses on Serverless Use Case - API Gateway, AWS Lambda, S3, Lambda Authorizer, API Keys, Usage Plans

  3. Generative AI - Build end to end Manufacturing Industry use case with AWS Bedrock (Cohere Foundational Model) + AWS Lambda + AWS API Gateway)

  4. Security -  Secure your API's by implementing Lambda Authorizers and Cognito Authorizers

  5. Implementing Serverless Use Case - API Gateway, AWS Lambda and S3 (above use case) using AWS CDK v2 (Infrastructure as Code)

  6. Implementing Serverless Use Case - API Gateway, AWS Lambda and S3 (above use case) using AWS CloudFormation (Infrastructure as Code)

  7. The third  project focuses on Monitor & increase free storage for FCI Cluster using AWS Microsoft AD, FSx, EC2, SNS, CloudWatch, Lambda

  8. Provides basic overview of Python  to be able to write the Lambda functions

  9. Discusses  indepth concepts related to AWS Lambda to help in design and implementation of Serverless solutions.

  10. Discusses detailed overview of API Gateway and related concepts

  11. Lambda Automation Scenario - AWS Lambda, EC2 and AWS EventBridge

  12. 100% Hands On learning based on Real World Implementation Scenarios.
