Practical AWS for Beginners: Build Real-World Serverless App

Learn AWS in 2026 by building a complete, real-world serverless application from scratch.

This course is designed for beginners who understand basic cloud concepts, or have completed an entry-level AWS certification, but still need practical experience. Instead of studying isolated services, you will see how multiple AWS services work together inside one complete project.

Throughout the course, you will build and deploy a serverless image-storage application using AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, DynamoDB, Amazon Rekognition, SNS, and CloudFormation.

You will learn how to:

• Design a practical serverless architecture

• Provision AWS resources using CloudFormation

• Store and manage files with Amazon S3

• Build backend logic with AWS Lambda

• Create APIs using Amazon API Gateway

• Add authentication and authorization with Amazon Cognito

• Store application data in DynamoDB

• Analyze images using Amazon Rekognition

• Send notifications with Amazon SNS

• Connect AWS services using permissions and event-driven workflows

• Deploy, test, troubleshoot, and improve a complete cloud application

The course focuses on practical implementation rather than memorizing theory. You will write infrastructure templates, configure permissions, connect services, debug problems, and understand why each architectural decision is made.

By the end of the course, you will have a complete AWS project that you can discuss in interviews, include in your portfolio, and use as a foundation for more advanced cloud projects.
