Python & AWS Lambda Foundations for Data Engineers

Learn Just Enough Python & Lambda to Succeed in AWS

Course Summary

Most people don’t struggle with AWS because AWS is hard.
They struggle because Python and serverless concepts become hidden roadblocks.

If you come from a low-code / no-code background, or if coding never came naturally to you, this course is built for you.

I come from an Informatica ETL background myself. I avoided coding early in my career until a senior leader told me something that changed everything:

“If you want to grow, you need scripting and automation.”

That pushed me to Python — and later to AWS Lambda. And to my surprise, Python was approachable, and Lambda made AWS feel simple instead of overwhelming.

This course is not about turning you into a Python expert or a cloud admin.

It is designed to help you move forward with AWS data engineering by:

  • Teaching just enough Python to work confidently in AWS

  • Applying Python inside AWS Lambda, not in isolation

  • Explaining serverless and event-driven architecture in plain language

  • Showing how Lambda is used in real data engineering workflows

  • Teaching you how Lambda is configured, priced, logged, and secured

  • Helping you understand when to use Lambda — and when not to

You’ll learn:

  • Core Python concepts that matter for AWS

  • How Lambda functions work (handler, event, context)

  • How to debug using CloudWatch logs

  • How IAM roles and permissions affect Lambda

  • How to use Boto3 to interact with AWS services

  • How Lambda fits into real-world architectures alongside services like Glue

By the end of this course, you won’t just “know Python basics”.

You’ll be able to:

  • Read and modify Python code used in AWS

  • Build and test Lambda functions with confidence

  • Understand event-driven workflows

  • Make informed architectural decisions as a data engineer

This course removes the friction that stops you from progressing in AWS — and prepares you for deeper data engineering work ahead.
