Serverless Resume API with Node.js, AWS Lambda, and API Gateway

In today's digital landscape, hosting a static resume is no longer enough to stand out. Building a serverless API to serve your professional history demonstrates practical cloud development skills while providing a modern, interactive way for employers to access your credentials. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of serverless architecture, showing you how to build and deploy a fully functional resume API from scratch. You will begin by understanding the core principles of serverless computing and how cloud services interact. Next, you will write clean Node.js backend code to manage resume data structures, configure secure endpoints, and deploy your code to the cloud. You will also learn how to handle API routing, parse incoming request parameters, and return structured JSON payloads dynamically. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamentals of serverless architecture and cloud-based execution environments - Write and structure Node.js code designed for event-driven serverless functions - Configure AWS Lambda to execute backend logic without managing physical servers - Build API Gateway endpoints to route HTTP requests directly to your Lambda functions - Implement basic security headers and CORS configurations for web-client integration - Test and debug your cloud API endpoints using structured input payloads This course is structured for step-by-step learning, starting with foundational cloud definitions before moving into local code setup, AWS configuration, and final deployment. You will follow logical, written explanations and code walkthroughs designed to build your confidence in cloud development. This course is perfect for beginner developers, students, and IT professionals looking to gain hands-on cloud experience. No prior AWS knowledge is required, though a basic familiarity with JavaScript and JSON is helpful. Start building your cloud portfolio and launch your serverless resume API today.
