Key training modules
Comprehensive, hands-on modules designed to take you from basics to advanced concepts
- Module 1: Cloud-Native and Serverless Fundamentals (Where It Fits Best)
- Cloud-native basics (managed services, elasticity, automation mindset)
- Serverless fundamentals (functions, managed runtimes, pay-per-use)
- Serverless vs containers vs VMs (decision guide)
- Common serverless workloads (APIs, automation, event processing)
- Hands-on: Activity: Pick 3 real use cases and decide serverless vs Kubernetes vs VM
- Module 2: Build and Deploy a Serverless HTTP API (Validation + Logging)
- Designing HTTP APIs for serverless (routes, versioning, contracts)
- Request validation patterns (schema checks, input guards)
- Structured logging fundamentals (correlation ids, log levels)
- API deployment workflow (stages, environments)
- Hands-on: Lab: Build and deploy a serverless HTTP API with validation and request logging
- Module 3: Integrate Serverless Compute with Object Storage and NoSQL
- Object storage fundamentals (buckets, keys, metadata patterns)
- NoSQL fundamentals (partition keys, query patterns, consistency concepts)
- Typical API flow (write metadata to NoSQL, store payload in object storage)
- Error handling and idempotency patterns for writes
- Hands-on: Lab: API writes object to storage and metadata to NoSQL with safe error handling
- Module 4: Event-Driven Workflows with Queues or Pub/Sub Triggers
- Event-driven architecture basics (producers, consumers, decoupling)
- Queue vs pub/sub (when to use which)
- Async processing flow (API → queue → worker function)
- Message payload design and schema versioning
- Hands-on: Lab: Trigger async processing using a queue or pub/sub from API events
- Module 5: IAM Least Privilege and Safe Secrets Handling
- IAM fundamentals for serverless (roles, policies, service identities)
- Least privilege principle and common mistakes
- Secrets management concepts (do not hardcode secrets)
- Secure access to storage, database, and queues
- Hands-on: Lab: Apply least-privilege IAM permissions for API and worker function
- Module 6: Reliability Patterns (Retries, Timeouts, and DLQ)
- Timeouts and why serverless needs strict execution control
- Retry behavior (what to retry vs what not to retry)
- Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) usage and failure isolation
- Designing idempotent consumers for safe retries
- Hands-on: Lab: Configure retries, timeouts, and DLQ and validate failure recovery
- Module 7: Mini Capstone (API → Async Workflow)
- Capstone goal: Build an API-to-async processing workflow
- HTTP API receives request, validates input, logs activity
- Store data in object storage and NoSQL
- Trigger async processing using queue/pubsub and handle failures with DLQ
- Hands-on: Capstone Lab: Deliver the full end-to-end workflow with evidence and runbook notes
- Module 8: Observability with Prometheus and Grafana (Monitoring Essentials)
- Observability basics (metrics vs logs vs traces)
- Prometheus concepts (scrape, targets, exporters, labels)
- Grafana dashboards and alerting basics
- SLO mindset (latency, errors, throughput) for APIs and workers
- Hands-on: Lab: Build dashboards and alerts for API/worker metrics using Prometheus + Grafana
