AWS challenge: deploy a complete serverless application

Baobab Market opens a shop in Abidjan tomorrow morning, and Moussa is on leave. Awa hands you the platform: this time, no step-by-step instructions. Each mission comes with a specification and success criteria to check in the console, a hint if you are stuck, and the solution as a last resort. This challenge closes the preparation path for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification. On your own, you set up a least-privilege IAM team, proven with the policy simulator, a private, versioned S3 invoices bucket archived by lifecycle, the DynamoDB orders table, an SNS topic and the SQS preparation queue, then a Lambda function that records each order automatically. A trap awaits you between SNS and SQS: the message envelope. As a bonus, the confirmation sent to the customer by Amazon SES. An acceptance test checks that everything works end to end, and a grid tells you which labs to review. The challenge ends with a full 30-question practice exam, weighted like the four domains of the CLF-C02 exam, which also covers the services the exam mentions that you did not use in the labs, then with everything you need to know for exam day.
