Build a complete serverless REST API using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Cognito for a task management SaaS application with authentication, async processing, and full observability.

In this project, you'll build TaskFlow API
  • a production-grade task management API for a fast-growing startup
that needs scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure without managing servers. You'll learn to design and deploy a fully serverless backend on AWS: • AWS Lambda functions for CRUD operations on tasks, projects, and users • API Gateway REST API with custom Cognito authorizers for secure endpoints • DynamoDB with single-table design for tasks, projects, and user data • Cognito User Pools for user registration, authentication, and JWT tokens • SQS queues for asynchronous notification and email processing • CloudWatch alarms and dashboards for operational monitoring • X-Ray for distributed tracing and performance debugging This project teaches you the serverless-first approach used by modern SaaS companies, giving you hands-on experience with AWS's most popular compute and data services.
