Description
Serverless Kotlin Development — Hands-On Serverless Applications with Kotlin
Serverless Kotlin Development: Learn to design, build, and deploy production-ready serverless applications using Kotlin, Kotlin Coroutines, and modern cloud services. This concise introduction doubles as a ready-to-use meta description for SEO.
Course Summary
This practical course, Hands-On Serverless Applications with Kotlin, teaches developers how to harness the power of Kotlin for serverless backends. You will move from fundamentals to production patterns through step-by-step labs, real-world projects, and CI/CD pipelines that deploy to cloud providers such as AWS and Google Cloud.
Who Should Take This Course?
- Backend developers familiar with Kotlin or Java who want to adopt serverless architectures.
- Full-stack engineers aiming to build scalable microservices without managing infrastructure.
- DevOps engineers who want to automate serverless deployments and monitoring.
- Anyone curious about combining Kotlin Coroutines and reactive patterns with cloud functions.
Prerequisites
- Basic programming experience (Kotlin or Java recommended).
- Familiarity with command-line tools and Git.
- An introductory understanding of HTTP, REST, and JSON.
What You Will Learn
- Architect scalable serverless systems using Kotlin best practices and Coroutines.
- Create cloud functions (AWS Lambda / Google Cloud Functions) using Kotlin runtimes and native images.
- Integrate serverless functions with managed services (databases, queues, object storage).
- Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and zero-downtime deployments.
- Monitor, secure, and optimize serverless applications for cost and performance.
Course Modules
- Module 1: Introduction to Serverless & Kotlin — concepts, benefits, and trade-offs.
- Module 2: Kotlin Coroutines & Concurrency Patterns for Cloud Functions.
- Module 3: Building AWS Lambda functions with Kotlin — handlers, cold-starts, and native images.
- Module 4: Serverless APIs — API Gateway, HTTP routing, authentication, and request validation.
- Module 5: Data & Messaging — integrating DynamoDB/Firestore, S3/Cloud Storage, and event-driven flows.
- Module 6: CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code — deploying with GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Serverless Framework.
- Module 7: Observability & Cost Optimization — logging, tracing, and budget-aware design.
- Capstone Project: Build and deploy a full serverless backend in Kotlin with real-world features.
