What happens when the internet disappears while using a cloud application? This article explores how to build offline-first applications using AWS services. Learn how local storage, Progressive Web Apps, API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and DynamoDB work together to preserve user data and synchronize it when connectivity returns. Discover practical architecture, data conflict handling, security considerations, and steps to build a more reliable cloud application.

Cloud computing has transformed the way organizations design, develop, deploy, and scale applications. Among the leading cloud platforms, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides developers with a powerful ecosystem of services that enables innovation, agility, and scalability. AWS is more than a collection of cloud services. It is an ecosystem that empowers developers, architects, startups, and enterprises to turn ideas into real-world solutions.

What really happens when your code runs in the cloud without you managing a server? Explore the mechanics of serverless computing through AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB. Understand event-driven execution, automatic scaling, cold starts, execution environments, and the trade-offs developers should consider when building serverless applications. Because serverless doesn't mean there are no servers—it means you don't have to manage them.

Learn the fundamentals of Amazon Web Services (AWS), explore essential cloud services, and discover how to build, deploy, and scale applications in the cloud.

An introductory guide outlining the five foundational Amazon Web Services—EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, and IAM—that form the backbone of modern cloud architecture.

What if you could build and run applications without managing servers? Discover how AWS Serverless Computing is transforming modern application development. Explore AWS Lambda, API Gateway, event-driven architecture, automatic scaling, real-world use cases, and the benefits and limitations of going serverless. Learn how developers can focus more on writing code and less on managing infrastructure.

Explore how Artificial Intelligence and AWS services can work together to identify underutilized cloud resources, analyze infrastructure dependencies, optimize costs, and improve cloud management through intelligent recommendations and human-approved automation.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle (Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle) now allows customers to join their RDS for Oracle DB instances directly to their self-managed Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain. Your self-managed AD can run on premises, on Amazon EC2, or with another cloud provider. Users in your AD domain can authenticate to RDS for Oracle DB instances using Kerberos. Previously, in order to use Kerberos authentication with self-managed AD for their RDS for Oracle instances, customers were required to deploy AWS Managed Microsoft AD and establish trust between AWS managed domain and self-managed domain. Now, customers can join their existing self-managed AD directly to authenticate and authorize users without setting up an additional directory or trust relationship. You can set this up using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. You can use self-managed AD without any additional charge. Kerberos authentication with self-managed Active Directory in Amazon RDS for Oracle is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for Oracle is available. To learn more about Kerberos authentication with self-managed Active Directory, visit Working with self-managed Active Directory with an Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instance in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Cloud computing has fundamentally shifted how we design, deploy, and scale applications. For builders working within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem, the challenge is no longer just how to spin up infrastructure, but how to architect solutions that are resilient, secure, and cost-effective from day one.

When I started learning AWS, I first understood services like Amazon S3, where I could store files in the cloud. Then I came across AWS Lambda, and it introduced me to a new idea: serverless computing. In this article, I’ll explain what AWS Lambda is, why students should learn it, and how it fits into real-world projects.

Cloud computing makes it easier than ever to deploy applications, store data, and build scalable systems. But when you start working with AWS, one important question should always come first:
