Our Verdict

This Udemy course offers a comprehensive examination of AWS serverless offerings, but at times may feel slightly outdated due to continuous AWS platform updates. While engaging in a hands-on approach, occasional clarity issues with the presentation and lack of orchestration tool recommendations limit this course's potential for serious learners. Despite these concerns, students looking for an introduction to serverless apps on AWS will likely appreciate its up-to-date content and practical focus.
