Modern Java Development on AWS: Building Serverless Backends

Transitioning Java applications to the cloud requires a shift in how we design, deploy, and scale backend systems. This comprehensive text-based course guides you through building highly scalable, cost-effective serverless backends on AWS using modern Java practices. You will transition from traditional Java development to cloud-native serverless architecture, gaining the practical skills to deploy production-ready APIs and data pipelines on AWS. What you'll learn: Understand foundational cloud concepts and AWS serverless architecture patterns; Build high-performance backend services using AWS Lambda and the AWS SDK for Java; Configure secure and scalable APIs using API Gateway to route client requests; Integrate serverless databases like DynamoDB for efficient data storage and retrieval; Apply modern Java features, including virtual threads and optimized runtime techniques, to minimize serverless latency; Deploy cloud infrastructure programmatically using infrastructure-as-code fundamentals. We begin with the core terminology of cloud-native development and AWS basics. You will then progress through written, step-by-step explanations and structured code examples to configure databases, secure APIs, and optimize your Java code specifically for cloud environments. This course is designed for Java developers who are new to AWS or serverless development, with no prior cloud experience required.
