Build A Serverless Api -Aws Lambda & Api Gateway (beginner)
 

Build and deploy your first serverless API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway with real GET and POST examples
What you'll learn
Build a serverless API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway from scratch
Handle GET and POST requests using Lambda with query parameters and JSON body
Deploy and connect API Gateway to Lambda to expose a working HTTP endpoint
Test API endpoints using browser and curl for real-world request handling
Requirements
Basic understanding of programming (any language, Python preferred but not required) Familiarity with basic HTTP concepts (GET and POST requests) An AWS account (free tier is sufficient) A computer with internet access No prior serverless or AWS experience required
Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
Learn how to build a serverless API from scratch using AWS Lambda and API Gateway in this beginner-friendly course.
In this course, you will create a fully working API that supports both GET and POST requests, deploy it on AWS, and test it using real tools like a browser and curl.
This course is designed to be simple, practical, and hands-on. You will not just learn theory - you will build and run a working API step by step.
You will start by understanding the basics of serverless architecture and how AWS Lambda works as a compute service. Then, you will learn how API Gateway acts as the entry point to expose your Lambda function as an HTTP endpoint. Throughout the course, we will focus on real implementation rather than abstract concepts, ensuring you gain practical experience.
By following along, you will gain confidence in building and deploying APIs in the cloud. This course also provides a strong foundation for more advanced topics such as integrating databases, adding authentication, and building scalable backend systems using AWS services.
You will also learn best practices for structuring simple APIs and gain clarity on how serverless components interact in real-world scenarios and environments and also test those API's
