The roles this career prepares you for

  • Junior back-end developer
  • AWS cloud developer
  • Serverless application developer

Every lab makes you practise what these roles call for, on a real company case: experience you can talk through in an interview.

The learning paths, in order

  1. Step 1
    Prepares for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) certificationLearning path

    AWS Cloud Practitioner: IAM, S3, EC2, DynamoDB, Lambda hands-on

    Awa launched Baobab Market in Dakar: shea butter, black soap, orders paid by mobile money. The shop is growing, and everything still runs on a computer in the back room. She hands you its move to AWS. Eight workshops follow the shop: giving everyone their access without ever sharing the keys, storing the invoices and publishing the website, launching the server, handling the Friday sales peak, finding each order in a few milliseconds, decoupling preparation, accounting and the customer, preparing orders without managing servers, sending the confirmation by email. Then a final challenge: building the Abidjan shop on your own, in one evening. Each workshop runs in a real AWS console, with no AWS account to open and no credit card to give. You trigger real errors, read them, and fix them. Each workshop ends with a practice exam, and the challenge with a full thirty-question exam: the path prepares you for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification (CLF-C02). About twenty-three hours of hands-on practice, from beginner to advanced.

    Docker : de la première image à la production

    Jeudi soir, Radio Akwa, à Douala. Ernest lance son sondage de la semaine à l'antenne, et le standard tombe en vingt minutes. Il ne vous demande pas une application : il demande une adresse à donner aux auditeurs. Quatre missions suivent ce sondage, de la première image à la nuit de la finale : le mettre en ligne et y poser votre propre question, ne plus perdre un seul vote quand un conteneur est remplacé, tout relancer en une commande avec Compose, puis le remettre debout au matin d'une coupure de courant et le servir sur une seule adresse derrière Nginx. Chaque lab part d'une panne réelle, que vous diagnostiquez avec les outils du métier (docker logs, docker inspect, les codes de sortie) avant de la corriger. Et à chaque fois, vos proches votent pour de vrai depuis leur téléphone.

    Prepares for the AWS Certified Developer - Associate (DVA-C02) certificationLearning path

    AWS for developers: serverless APIs, containers and security

    Mireille Ekambi launched Sawa Express in Douala: parcels delivered by motorbike across the city. Everything still runs on WhatsApp and a spreadsheet, and customers call all day long to find out where their parcel is. Patrick is writing the mobile app. You build the API, on AWS. Four workshops follow the app: a serverless HTTP API with AWS Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDB, photo proof of delivery processed asynchronously with S3, EventBridge and SQS, a containerized pricing service with Docker, Amazon ECR and ECS Fargate, then an API protected by Amazon Cognito and JWTs, with its secrets in Secrets Manager and its data encrypted with KMS. Each workshop runs in a real AWS console and in AWS CloudShell, with no AWS account to open and no credit card to give. You write the code, deploy it, test the API the way the app will call it, and checks verify what you built. Each workshop ends with exam questions: the path prepares you for the AWS Certified Developer - Associate certification (DVA-C02). Eight hours of hands-on practice, from intermediate to advanced.
