Capstone Project

Production Application Stack on AWS

A containerized application deployed to EKS with CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure as code, monitoring, alerting, auto-scaling, and disaster recovery. The same foundation engineering teams use at series-B companies.

About this course

Modern business applications need to be reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient. DevOps is the discipline that makes that happen — this course teaches the tools and practices used by engineering teams at fast-growth companies. You'll start with Linux fundamentals and Git, then move through Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud deployment on AWS. Every module has a hands-on lab where you deploy a real application: a web API, a containerized database, a full-stack application with CI/CD pipeline. You'll learn to configure environments that handle traffic spikes, recover from failures, and scale without manual intervention. By week 11, you'll have deployed a production-grade application stack with monitoring, alerting, automated backups, and infrastructure as code. The same foundation used by engineers at software companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Requirements

  • Basic computer literacy — command line experience helpful but not required
  • Familiarity with at least one programming language is a plus
  • Access to a laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux) with internet connection

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior cloud experience?

No. We start with zero assumptions. The Linux and Git module in week 1 establishes the foundation everything else builds on.

How much does the cloud infrastructure cost?

Labs are designed to use AWS free-tier resources. Total lab spend is typically under $20 for the full course if you follow the teardown instructions.

Which AWS certification does this prepare me for?

The course covers the core domains of the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam, though it is not structured specifically as exam prep. Several students have passed the SAA after completing the course.

Is Kubernetes necessary? Isn't it overkill for small applications?

Kubernetes has a learning curve, but the concepts — declarative configuration, health checks, rolling updates — apply even when using simpler tools like ECS or App Runner. Understanding Kubernetes makes everything else easier.
