Serverless applications enable businesses to deploy highly-scalable workloads in a very cost-efficient manner. AWS Lambda is the main type of serverless application used by the highly popular Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. This course is designed to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge to develop robust and scalable AWS Lambda applications using C#.

In this course, you will embark on a hands-on learning journey, starting from the fundamentals of AWS Lambda and progressing to advanced topics. With expert guidance and practical examples, you’ll gain a solid understanding of leveraging AWS Lambda’s power to build highly efficient and cost-effective serverless architectures.

By the end of this course, you’ll have acquired the skills and confidence to develop scalable and efficient serverless applications using AWS Lambda and C#. This course will equip you with the expertise needed to harness the power of AWS Lambda and unlock the potential of serverless computing in your projects.

Building AWS Lambda Functions with C# and .NET

Each of these has its pros and cons, and none is universally considered to be the best.

Which .NET test framework is universally considered to be the best?

Which .NET test framework is universally considered to be the best?

Unit tests trigger methods directly, while integration tests trigger the actual API endpoints.

Unit tests don't require the application to be deployed, while integration tests do.

Unit tests mock third-party dependencies, while integration tests use the real dependencies.

A unit test always verifies the behavior of only a single method, while an integration test verifies the behavior of several methods.

What’s the difference between unit tests and integration tests?

What’s the difference between unit tests and integration tests?

Without this library, we cannot test an AWS Lambda function handler.

It gives access to the `TestLambdaContext` class, which can emulate the context parameter.

It provides us with an emulated function runner.

It provides us with an emulated AWS Lambda host and an event queue.

What is the advantage of using the `Amazon.Lambda.TestUtilities` NuGet package while testing AWS Lambda function handlers?

What is the advantage of using the <code>Amazon.Lambda.TestUtilities</code> NuGet package while testing AWS Lambda function handlers?

Sharing internal members with the test project

Adding the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing` NuGet to the test project

Implementing the `IClassFixture` in the test class that points to the `WebApplicationFactory` type

What is essential for enabling unit tests in a serverless AWS Lambda web application?

It's not possible to test a function handler in a .NET runtime AWS Lambda application.

Associating a function handler with a strongly typed method and writing tests for this method

The only way to test function handlers in a .NET runtime AWS Lambda application is via an emulated AWS runner.

Which technique allows us to easily test an AWS Lambda function handler in a .NET runtime project with top-level statements?
