CLOUD LABS
Mastering AWS Lambda Layers
In this Cloud Lab, you will learn to deploy Lambda functions with conventional deployment packages and layers, enabling you to perform tasks like API calls, sentiment analysis, and processing image text from an S3 bucket.

Learning Objectives
AWS Lambda, provided by Amazon Web Services, is a serverless platform that helps code execution without the need to manage underlying servers.
You’ll start by creating a Lambda function with Python, incorporating the requests library to enable API interactions. Then, you will package and deploy this function with its dependencies. Next, you will optimize by creating a Lambda layer with the requests library, allowing for more efficient code editing and package management. You’ll also delve into sentiment analysis by adding the textblob library to a Lambda layer and applying this to analyze text data. Finally, you’ll learn to share this textblob layer across multiple Lambda functions, including the analysis of the text from an image stored in an S3 bucket.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you will have gained practical experience in integrating and managing Lambda layers within AWS Lambda functions.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure you will create in this Cloud Lab:

Your method is simple, straight to the point and I can practice with it everywhere, even from my phone, that's something I have never had in other learning platforms.
I highly recommend Educative. The courses are well organized and easy to understand.
I prefer Educative courses because they have a nice mix of text & images. I find that with full video courses, it can often be too easy to go into passive learning mode.
