This is a hands-on course on how to deploy a fully Serverless web app using the AWS CDK. You will learn how to:

• Structure **CDK Stacks **to deploy an application from end-to-end
• Deploy a REST API integrated with AWS Lambda for dynamic requests processing
• Store data in a fast and cost-effective way with DynamoDB
• Use DynamoDB streams as a source for Lambda in an event-driven architecture
• Ingest and manipulate loads of data streams with Kinesis Firehose
• Deploy and query a Data Lake with Athena, S3 and Glue
• Monitor your entire application health in a single place using Dashbird

You can use the resources declared in this demo application as a starting point to mix and adapt to your own architectures later, which should save you quite some time.

The App and Architecture

The demo app is a public blog where anyone can read, publish and like posts. It’s available on this link. Go ahead and publish something in the top-left corner (yellow button) and also “like” articles already published. Check out the codebase on this repo.
