Build Node.js apps with AWS DynamoDB and Docker containers

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.
