Build Node.js apps with AWS DynamoDB & Docker containers

Description

In this course you will learn how to:

• Build a REST API using Node.js alongside the Express library
• Persist data using AWS DynamoDB
• You will learn how to develop using DynamoDB on your local computer before deploying your app in production
• Containerize your app using Docker
• Push your app to AWS Elastic Container Registry
• Host your app using AWS Fargate & AWS Load Balancing
• Enable auto-scaling which means AWS will take care of adding / removing compute resources to cater to demand spikes on your app
• Point a domain name to your app so it’s easily accessible

Who is this course for?

• Javascript beginners
• Developers wanting to learn how to deploy apps using AWS Fargate & Load balancing

Why is JavaScript and Node so awesome?

• Well, it’s the most used programming language in the world
• Heaps of community support when you encounter bugs and issues
• Loads of companies looking for JavaScript developers

Why is AWS Fargate so amazing?

• It automatically provisions and monitors the load on our compute resources so we don’t have to
• It auto-scales our app so meet traffic loads, and scales back to reduce costs
• It turns a traditional app into a “serverless” one

Learning methodology:

We take a learn-by-doing approach. In a matter of minutes, you’ll have a running NodeJS Express application. Over the course of the lectures you’ll develop your very own To Do List backend application.

Who this course is for:

• Beginners to Javascript and Node
• Seasoned developers looking for guidance on how to set up a project with AWS Fargate

Requirements

• Create an AWS account
