The Advanced Developing on AWS course uses the real-world scenario of taking a legacy, on-premisesmonolithic application and refactoring it into a serverless microservices architecture. This three-dayadvanced course covers advanced development topics such as architecting for a cloud-native environment;deconstructing on-premises, legacy applications and repackaging them into cloud-based, cloud nativearchitectures; and applying the tenets of the Twelve-Factor Application methodology.
