AWS is how production software runs. This course takes you from zero AWS experience to a fully deployed stack — static site on CloudFront, Python app on App Runner, PostgreSQL on RDS, custom domain, HTTPS — step by step.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on aws deployment you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
This is not a simulation. You will deploy to actual AWS infrastructure. The free tier covers everything in this course.
AWS costs money if you leave things running. This course teaches you exactly which services to shut down after each exercise and how to set billing alerts.
By Day 5 you have a static frontend, a Python backend, and a PostgreSQL database deployed and accessible at a real domain with HTTPS.
Each day is designed to finish in about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. No live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
AWS account setup, regions, IAM users and roles. The mental model of how AWS resources work and the security baseline before you deploy anything.
Upload a static site to S3, configure CloudFront distribution, enable HTTPS with ACM certificate. The fastest, cheapest way to host any static site globally.
Containerize a Python application, deploy to App Runner, configure environment variables and health checks. A live backend API in under an hour.
Launch an RDS PostgreSQL instance, configure VPC security groups, connect your app to the database. The production database pattern for AWS applications.
Configure a custom domain with Route 53, set up CloudWatch monitoring and alerting, review your AWS bill, and set up billing alerts before costs surprise you.
Instead of shooting our own videos, we link to the best deep-dives already on YouTube. Watch them alongside the course. All external, all free, all from builders who ship this stuff.
Step-by-step AWS deployment tutorials for developers deploying their first real application.
How to host a static website on S3 with CloudFront CDN and HTTPS — the standard pattern for fast, cheap static site hosting.
Deploying Python applications to AWS App Runner — simpler than ECS, more powerful than Lambda for web APIs.
Setting up RDS PostgreSQL on AWS — configuration, VPC security, connection strings, and cost management.
Configuring Route 53 DNS and ACM certificates for custom domains with HTTPS on AWS deployments.
Setting up application monitoring and billing alerts in CloudWatch — the first thing to configure before going to production.
The best way to go deeper on any topic is to read canonical open-source implementations. These repositories implement the core patterns covered in this course.
The official AWS Python SDK. Every AWS API operation in this course uses boto3.
AWS Cloud Development Kit — the Infrastructure as Code framework for defining AWS resources in code. The next step after manual deployment.
AWS sample deployment architectures. Reference implementations for the deployment patterns this course covers.
Terraform modules for common AWS infrastructure patterns — the IaC ecosystem many teams use after outgrowing manual deployments.
You have a working local application and need to put it on the internet for real. This course gives you the step-by-step path.
You know how to build UIs but need to add a backend API and database. This course shows you the AWS deployment pattern for the full stack.
You deploy to shared hosting or a single server and want to understand how AWS-based production infrastructure works.
