Deploying Serverless Functions with Netlify and GitHub

Modern web development relies on fast, scalable backend logic without the burden of managing physical servers. This text-based course guides you through configuring a robust serverless workflow from the ground up, ensuring your APIs and backend services are ready for production. You will start with the core concepts of serverless architecture, understanding how microservices handle requests on demand before writing your first line of code. By following this structured guide, you will gain the practical skills needed to connect your local development environment to cloud hosting, automate your deployments, and secure your application endpoints. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of serverless architecture and cloud execution environments - Configure the Netlify CLI to manage your projects directly from your local terminal - Build and test serverless functions locally before deploying them to production - Integrate GitHub to establish a seamless continuous deployment workflow - Manage environment variables and secure sensitive API keys in a production environment - Analyze function logs and monitor performance to troubleshoot execution errors This course begins with essential definitions and step-by-step setup instructions, moving steadily into local testing, configuration files, and live production deployment strategies. It is designed specifically for web developers and beginners looking to add backend capabilities to their frontend projects. No prior serverless experience is required.
