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

This is a course for AWS Lambda Beginners planning to gain expertise in writing Lambda functions using Python with no previous coding experience or experience in a different programming language.

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

The final capstone 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.
