20+ Aws Resources for Web Developers in 2021

Amazon AWS is one of the most popular cloud providers in the world, but it can also be daunting to learn thanks to the alphabet soup of service acronyms.

Once you've figured out which subset of services to use, you've got a lot of clicking around to do in order to get things configured.

Not anymore!

With the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), you are able to configure AWS services from your terminal & editor.

Even better, you can do your configuration, frontend, and backend all with the same language. 

In this course, Tomasz Łakomy will guide you through using TypeScript to complete the lifecycle of an application powered by AWS CDK. You'll see how to start a project, develop it locally, deploy it globally, then tear it all down when you're done.

The services & development approach Tomasz demonstrates in this course are used by countless companies around the world.

With GraphQL, you can define the shape of your data in a schema, and GraphQL will fulfill the request with the precise data you need. When you need it. This doesn't come without a cost. GraphQL adds a lot of complexity to your application by requiring you to define your schemas through types, mutations, and resolvers.

AppSync is a fully managed serverless GraphQL service that fast-tracks your API development. You can define a single type, and AppSync auto-generates a schema, queries, mutators, and subscriptions for you.

In this course, Nader Dabit will show you how to:

- build a production-ready GraphQL API through AWS AppSync
- create and modify data through the AWS AppSync console
- connect a React application to the GraphQL API
- execute queries, mutations, and subscriptions for data through the API in React

Scalable Offline-Ready GraphQL Applications with AWS AppSync & React

The core of serverless architectures are auto-scaling systems and a pay-per-execution pricing. Two traits that allows developers to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity, by outsourcing infrastructure management to cloud providers and focus on building business logic.  

In this course we walk through the basics on how to create a serverless API. We start off creating a simple HTTP endpoint. Then we build the first two endpoints of a REST API for a simple Todo Application backend storing the data in DynamoDB. After watching this course you will be ready to get started building you first serverless backend.

React makes it intuitive to build real-world web application. But in reality, you need to use a host of other services to get the app in front of real users. 

This course walks you through setup and implementation to get your cloud-based application up and running. 

You’ll learn to set up:
* a new project in AWS Amplify configured to your React app
* user authentication with Amazon Cognito 
* managed GraphQL with AWS AppSync
* image storage and retrieval with Amazon S3
* text translation via Lambda functions
* and finally, deployment of your application on AWS using Amazon S3

You’ll finish the course ready to quickly and easily deploy your serverless React application, so users can start using and enjoying it right away.

Building Serverless Web Applications with React & AWS Amplify

Building larger serverless applications can be tricky - creating many lambda functions as well as other resources such as DynamoDB tables, S3 buckets, API Gateways using AWS Console takes quite a lot of time. Not to mention other problems such as redeploying the app to a different region, reviewing the infrastructure etc.

**AWS Serverless Application Model** (**AWS SAM** for short) simplifies a lot of those issues 🤩

Built with with best practices in mind, SAM allows you to:

🌟define your infrastructure as code using a YAML template (which can go through code review!)

🌟define resources such as lambda functions, DynamoDB tables etc. in a much simpler way than doing it directly in CloudFormation (which SAM is built on top of)

🌟build and deploy a serverless application from a command line

🌟debug and test lambda functions locally using SAM CLI

🌟debug and test lambda functions from WITHIN your editor with AWS Toolkit extension


Add AWS SAM to your toolkit with this quick collection!

Build serverless applications with AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM)

AWS Lambda, Serverless, FaaS - there is a lot of noise around those topics online (and for a very good reason!) and it can get confusing at times 🤯

In this collection we're going to take a look at AWS Lambda from scratch, in order to get **YOU** from:

"_I have no idea what a lambda function is_" 

to 

"_I know quite a bit about AWS Lambda, and I'm going to use it to solve my problems_"

We generally tend to avoid paying for things unless we actually need them, and the same goes for AWS

When using a cloud provider like AWS sometimes an unexpected charge may occur and we'd like to understand what are we being charged for and how to be notified whenever an unexpected charge occurs (especially when we're trying to stay within a free tier).

In this quick (4 minutes, 2 lessons) collection we're going to learn how to:

- Review the AWS Billing & Cost Management Dashboard
- Set up a billing alarm to be notified whenever our bill is larger than $5
- Review the AWS bill to understand how much are we going to pay this month and why

Use AWS Billing & Cost Management Dashboard to keep your AWS bill to minimum

This collection includes introductory level material for AWS DynamoDB. We cover what DynamoDB is, when you'd use it, and the vocabulary you'll need to understand documentation and talks in the ecosystem.

You'll come out of this playlist with the ability to understand what people mean when they say DynamoDB and the base you need to get started yourself.

Intro to DynamoDB

This collection is a sequel to the [Building a Serverless JAMStack Todo app with Netlify, Gatsby, GraphQL, and FaunaDB](https://egghead.io/playlists/building-a-serverless-jamstack-todo-app-with-netlify-gatsby-graphql-and-faunadb-53bb) collection. In this collection we take the TODO application we built and convert it to run using Netlify Identity, AWS Lambda (using the serverless framework) and DynamoDB. We cover

* Fauna vs DynamoDB and when to use each
* Setting up AWS accounts
* Creating DynamoDB tables and data modeling differences between Fauna and Dynamo
* Converting our Netlify Functions deployment to a Serverless Framework deployment
* Implementing Custom authorizer functions on AWS

It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible. Netlify Functions grows into Serverless Framework adn AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity is kept around, and FaunaDB can grows into DynamoDB.



FaunaDB is a global serverless database that gives you ubiquitous, low latency access to app data, without sacrificing data correctness. It eliminates layers of app code for manually handling data anomalies, security, and scale, creating a friendlier dev experience for you and better app experience for your users.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

In this video we learn how to deploy & host a Vue application on AWS using the Amplify Console. We also see how to do continuous deployment by kicking off new builds when changes are made to the master branch of our repository.
