Deploying SPAs on AWS, v3. This hands-on course is designed to meet the needs of frontend engineers, so they can deploy production-grade web applications without the hassle of becoming a full-fledged cloud infrastructure engineer. The focus of this course is on the AWS application building blocks that you’ll encounter in real-world teams, including S3 for static assets, CloudFront for content delivery network (CDN) behavior and caching, Route 53 and ACM for DNS and TLS management, edge logic for redirects and headers, and finally, serverless APIs for browser-side backend functionality. Along the way, you’ll develop mental models that make the AWS platform predictable; Things like where requests flow, where code executes, what is stored, who has access to what, and how changes are propagated. The course finally concludes by linking all of these concepts to Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD processes, Observability, and cost management literacy so that professionals can fully manage and execute everything they ship and avoid overspending.
What you will learn
- Deploy an industrial-grade single-page application (SPA) on S3 behind CloudFront with proper routing, HTTPS, and a dedicated domain.
- Intelligent caching design across CloudFront, S3, and the browser, as well as debugging stale or unexpected content.
- Add secure edge logic using CloudFront and Lambda@Edge functions to modify routes, headers, and style shaping to requests.
- Deliver browser-side serverless APIs using Lambda and API Gateway with proper CORS setup, rate limiting, and error handling.
- Create visibility for front-end delivery using logs, metrics, and alarms that make network events explainable.
- Create repeatable deployments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines instead of vulnerable workflows in a handheld console.
- Understand the biggest AWS cost drivers for front-end workloads and avoid common sources of surprise costs.
This course is suitable for people who:
- Front-end engineers who develop single-page applications with frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Remix, or Nuxt and want to confidently run them on AWS.
- Professionals who want to master predictable application delivery, caching behaviors, and cloud platforms.
- Developers who need to learn secure domain configurations, TLS, and edge logic in real production environments.
- Developers who want to move away from traditional, manual methods and towards cloud deployment automation.
