Course Overview

AWS for Backend Developers: EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda

Amazon Web Services is the infrastructure layer behind a significant portion of production software today. This track focuses on the services backend developers use most — EC2 for compute, S3 for object storage, RDS for managed relational databases, and Lambda for serverless functions — and builds the practical knowledge needed to deploy, monitor, and scale real applications on AWS.

What You Will Learn

You will start with EC2 fundamentals and progress through managed databases with Amazon RDS, object storage patterns with S3 including advanced features like lifecycle rules and presigned URLs, and serverless architecture with Lambda. Along the way you will configure CloudWatch monitoring and logging, design AWS networking and security essentials, apply cost optimization strategies, build CI/CD and deployment pipelines on AWS, and work with DynamoDB as a complement to relational databases. Advanced topics include Auto Scaling strategies, multi-AZ RDS configurations, and Lambda integration patterns with other AWS services.

The Learning Path

Twelve courses span levels A1 through C1. The track opens with AWS Introduction & EC2 Fundamentals and builds steadily through B1 and B2 topics — networking, security, and cost management — before reaching the C1 tier: Advanced EC2 & Auto Scaling Strategies, Advanced RDS & DynamoDB Deep Dive, Advanced Lambda Patterns & Integrations, and CI/CD and Deployment Strategies on AWS. Each level assumes the prior one, so the progression is deliberate and cumulative.

How It Works

Each course is split into short, focused lessons you work through in the built-in editor with real-time feedback. When you get stuck, an AI tutor is available inline to explain concepts or debug your configuration without leaving the lesson.
