Key concepts, sample applications, best practices, and troubleshooting tips to build highly scalable applications in AWS. Key Features Design highly available, cost efficient, fault tolerant, and scalable distributed systems A practical guide that will help you build, deploy, and manage applications with ease. Develop effective solutions with AWS SDK and Lambda Book Description Expert AWS Development begins with the installation of the AWS SDK and you will go on to get hands-on experience of creating an application using the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Then, you will integrate applications with AWS services such as DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SWF. Following this, you will get well versed with CI/CD workflow and work with four major phases in the release process – Source, Build, Test, and Production. Then, you will learn to apply AWS Developer tools to your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) workflow. Later, you will learn about user authentication using Amazon Cognito, and also how you can evaluate the best architecture as per your infrastructure costs. You will learn about Amazon EC2 service and will deploy an app using it. You will also deploy a practical real-world example of a CI/CD application with the Serverless Application Framework, which is known as AWS Lambda. Finally, you will learn how to build, develop, and deploy the Application using AWS Developer tools such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline, as per your project requirements. What you will learn Learn how to get up and running with AWS Developer tools Integrate the four major phases in the release processes: Source, Build, Test, and Production Learn how to integrate Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment in AWS Make secure, scalable, and fault tolerant applications Understand different architectures and deploy complex architectures within minutes Who this book is for This book targets developers who would like to build and manage web and mobile applications and services on the AWS platform. If you are an architect you will be able to take a deep dive and use examples that can be readily applied to real world scenarios. Some prior programming experience is assumed along with familiarity of cloud computing.
