Event-driven Architectures in Serverless

by Elle Krout

Serverless architectures depend on events—but what does "event-driven" really mean? This course will teach you the concepts behind event-driven architectures and the role serverless plays within them.

What you'll learn

Serverless functions, serverless databases, serverless containers—the list of serverless options might seem endless. But how do they work together within an entire architecture? In this course, Event-driven Architectures in Serverless, you’ll learn to plan out an event-driven serverless architecture. First, you’ll explore what event-driven really means. Next, you’ll discover concepts such as event sources, message queues, and more. Finally, you’ll learn how to tie together your stateless and stateful components, leaving you with a complete serverless architecture. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of event-driven architectures needed to begin to develop your own systems and infrastructures.
