PROJECT
Deploy a MERN Application Using the AWS SAM
Learn how to deploy an e-learning course catalog website, developed using MERN, to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud with the help of the Serverless Application Model (SAM).
You will learn to:
Apply the fundamentals of Cloud Formation.
Explore the basics of serverless architecture.
Configure and restructure a MERN application for deployment.
Use AWS and SAM CLI commands to build and deploy a serverless application to the cloud.

Project Description
In this project, we’ll deploy an e-learning course catalog to the AWS cloud. We’ll also restructure a MERN application, install necessary packages and make the application ready to be deployed on the cloud using AWS SAM command-line tools.
The SAM is a comprehensive tool for serverless deployment and debugging. It is cost-effective, robustn, and contains built-in fault tolerance and security.
Note: Learn to create a MERN-based application by completing the Educative Project “Build an E-learning Website with the MERN Stack.”
Each course on the custom website created during this project will have the following components:
- A title
- An image
- An author name
- A “Free” or “Paid” status
- A description
- A “Visit Website” button
The website will also allow users to search the available courses with a search bar.
The image below shows the final layout of the website, which will be hosted on a dynamic URL:
Note: For most users, the AWS services used in this project will be free, but a few users might be charged for some services. Please follow the links below for pricing information:
