Serverless Framework with GraphQL

Build modern, easy-to-use GraphQL APIs without managing your own fleet of servers

Using a serverless approach to build A Cloud Guru, we were able to get a fully interactive online social learning platform to market in a fraction of the time that it would have taken us in the past. We can now innovate quickly, and add new features to the user interface continuously — without having to touch so many layers of code for each new feature.

We want you to experience the same benefits. Serverless is one of the hottest topics in the cloud in 2017. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean there aren’t any servers. Of course there are, but someone else is managing, securing, maintaining and patching them, taking the load and responsibility off your shoulders and freeing you up to focus on building your unique product.

In this course, you will be introduced to 2 powerful tools for developers: The Serverless Framework and _GraphQL. _The Serverless Framework is the first framework for building applications exclusively on AWS Lambda. GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data.

This is a lab-driven, hands-on course where you build a fully serverless website on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway. You will complete 3 different projects while learning how to use The Serverless Framework and GraphQL.

This is a fairly technical course. The ideal student is already familiar with mobile or web frontend development, and wants to learn how they can build their own backend. If you’re not there just yet, you may consider our Serverless for Beginners course.

This is for students that are tired of:

• writing REST endpoints that they’ll have to support until the last user updates their mobile app

• managing a full infrastructure made up of EC2 instances, autoscaling groups, and config management tools.

• paying for a bunch of idle servers if they guess their capacity needs wrong.

• shelling out for expensive separate test environments as a solo developer.

• calling multiple endpoints to assemble all the data they need for every page of their app.

Learn how to take advantage of the latest tools to make your app or web site snappy & easy to add features to.

Learn how to have every part of your dev-test-deploy cycle automated so they can focus on their code.

Learn how to let AWS handle the hard work of scaling up and down to meet demand.

All you need is The Serverless Framework with GraphQL.
