AWS For Product Teams: Build, Ship & Scale On The Cloud Episodes

Most AWS tutorials teach services. This series teaches you how to build a real product.

Whether you're a Product Manager trying to understand the cloud infrastructure your team runs on — or a developer who wants to move beyond isolated service demos and ship something that actually works end to end — this course is built for both of you.

Every module follows the same format: a PM angle and a Dev angle, so each role gets exactly what they need without sitting through content that doesn't apply to them.

What you'll build:
A production-ready product on AWS — from account setup and architecture decisions through CI/CD pipelines, product analytics, AI-powered features, and full production ownership.
What's covered across 6 modules:
📦 Module 1 — Product Foundation on AWS
Team environment setup, IAM for product teams, cost allocation, and the architecture mindset shift every PM and dev needs.

🏗️ Module 2 — Architecting Your Product
Compute tradeoffs (EC2 vs Lambda vs containers), storage decisions (S3, RDS, DynamoDB), API design, and how PMs and devs align on architecture decisions together.

🚀 Module 3 — Building & Shipping: CI/CD on AWS
CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, environments (dev/staging/prod), feature flags, and how to ship fast without breaking production.

📊 Module 4 — Data, Analytics & Product Intelligence
Instrumentation, Athena, Redshift, QuickSight dashboards, and building the product feedback loop that drives evidence-based decisions.

🤖 Module 5 — AI & ML Features for Your Product
Amazon Bedrock, Rekognition, Comprehend, SageMaker, and how to know when to use pre-built APIs vs. building custom models.
🛡️ Module 6 — Ops, Security & Scaling in Production
CloudWatch, X-Ray, auto scaling, WAF, incident response, and what it actually means to own a product in production.

Who this is for:
✅ Product Managers who want to understand what their engineering team is building on
✅ Developers and engineers who want to build complete products, not just learn isolated services
✅ Startup and SMB teams bootstrapping a production-grade product on AWS

Prerequisites: Some AWS familiarity. No coding background required for the PM track.
