Hi Jay Desai ! Happy to hear you're having a good AWS experience. Thank you for the great questions. Here are the ones I can answer right now: I recommend taking a look at these two whitepapers. Both have some best practices and patterns for building out a microservices architecture. Microservices on AWS Serverless Application Lens - the whole document is really good, but there's a section dedicated to microservices that might be of interest There are a handful of ways to get involved with AWS! A few of my favorites: Get involved in the AWS open source projects Join the developer community or your local AWS meetup Share your own experiences and AWS knowledge on your own blog on with the developer communities Share feedback (good or bad) with your friendly AWS developer advocates Great question! I'm sure you've heard this answer before, but for anyone else who stumbles upon this. With serverless, you don't have to think about servers. You get to build and run your services without having to manage infrastructure or deal with server and operating system tasks. It allows you to focus on delivering the core business value you're an expert in so you don't have to be an expert in servers, infrastructure, capacity, and scaling.
Hey Bolaji Ayodeji ! Thanks for the additional info. Ana Cunha pointed you in the right direction with the Full-Stack Developer Getting Started Guide . That's a great place to start. You can also check out some of the other AWS Amplify Getting Started guides here . These will touch on other AWS services.
I'd also suggest keeping a "wins" list -- a list of your accomplishments. This could be your resume, but it's probably smaller day to day accomplishments that don't fit on your resume. It's a good motivator for yourself, but it's also something you can look back on when asked for more details. Including numbers in your resume is important, too. This can show how much impact you can have to a company. As an example, instead of saying "Built web app to upload and share photos" say "Built web app to upload and share photos; Scaled it from 0 to 1000 active users in 3 months".
