AWS Projects: Get hands-on practice with multiple AWS services - UPDATED - AWS Project - Build a Full End-to-End Web App with 7 Services | Step-by-Step Tutorial

UPDATED version of the Wild Rydes project that uses GitHub (rather than CodeCommit), Amplify Gen 2, and Node 20.x. When you’re new to AWS, it can be difficult to wrap your head around ALL the services available, and how they actually fit together to build a working application. Or maybe you're just looking for a more robust project you can put on your resume? Well, you've come to the right place! That’s what we’re tackling in this video! (Also check out my other AWS project videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwyXYwu8kL0wMalR9iXJIPfiMYWNFWQzx.) In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to build a ride sharing app (for unicorns!), pulling from the AWS Wild Rydes sample project. We’ll use seven different services—GitHub, Amplify, Cognito, Lambda, IAM, API Gateway and DynamoDB—talking about why/where to use them, and how to get them to work with each other. As we go, we’ll build out each of the services, resulting in a fully-functioning ride sharing application when we’re done. 🌟***WHAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW ALONG***🌟 • A text editor or place to make notes • An AWS account, logged in to the AWS Console as a user with admin access • Some basic knowledge of AWS is preferable, but you can still follow along if you’re an absolute newbie • A GitHub account • The code from my GitHub repo: https://github.com/tinytechnicaltutorials/wildrydes-site 🌟***OTHER VIDEOS YOU MIGHT ENJOY***🌟 Amplify Gen 2: https://youtu.be/7-7ugqAxgxI Lambda: https://youtu.be/3Ar1ABlD_Vs DynamoDB: https://youtu.be/FQrN5aJWa_U IAM: https://youtu.be/iF9fs8Rw4Uo API Gateway: https://youtu.be/jgpRAiar2LQ 🌟🌟If you’re interested in getting AWS certifications, check out these full courses.
