How to become a Python/AWS lambda developer?

Python is a general-purpose programming language known for its versatility compared to its peers. It can be used for a wide variety of applications, including web development, machine learning applications, real-time applications, game development, and more. In general, Python can be utilized in the creation of virtually any application that requires data and mathematical computations.

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing platform offered by Amazon as part of the Amazon Web Services suite. Employers use AWS Lambda to extend other AWS services with custom logic or develop their own back-end services that run on AWS's computing resources.

AWS Lambda supports Python code that processes incoming events. With Lambda, you can run your Python code using the SDK for Python in an environment that includes credentials from an IAM role that you manage. As the use of Python/AWS Lambda increases, the demand for Python/AWS lambda developers has increased rapidly.

What is the scope in Python/AWS lambda development?

Amazon Web Services' Lambda provides event-driven, autonomous computing. The AWS Lambda service is designed for developers who want to run code without having to provision or manage servers. It can be used as a logic layer within an application.

You can run Python code in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda. Lambda, a service that runs code in response to events or requests, provides runtimes for Python and other languages. You can write and upload your own Python code to runtime. Serverless is an emerging software architecture that allows developers to focus on the code they write instead of the underlying hardware and operating systems of cloud platforms. Industry experts predict serverless become more important in the coming years.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a Python/AWS lambda developer?

Python/AWS Lambda developers are in charge of creating, developing, and implementing complex systems in a serverless architecture.
Their responsibilities include:

  • Create, build, and deploy performant and dependable applications on AWS
  • Code, assess, optimize, implement, and record effective data-driven applications
  • Create unit test plans to ensure that functional and technical criteria are met
  • Engage in software development processes such as quality assurance, version control, and building
  • Address conflicts and validate programming specifications
  • Implement an end-to-end web application architecture

How to become a Python/AWS lambda developer?

A Python/AWS lambda developer is in high demand and is a popular choice among all IT professionals these days. It's not as difficult as it sounds to become a Python/AWS lambda developer. The most apparent and well-known path to becoming a Python/AWS lambda developer is to pursue college-level computer science courses or a degree/diploma in computer science. It is worth noting, however, that you do not need a computer science degree to work as a Python/AWS lambda developer. All you need are the necessary skills, a programming language, and knowledge of serverless architecture.

Python/AWS lambda developers can choose from a variety of roles and job domains based on their skills. Python and AWS Lambda will be used to implement, develop, and debug your project. Assume responsibility for writing code, testing, and debugging programs, among other things.

Now, let us discuss the skills and methods you'll need to master in order to become a successful Python/AWS lambda developer:

Skills required to become a Python/AWS lambda developer

The first step is to start learning the fundamental skills that can get you lucrative Python/AWS lambda developers jobs. Let’s look at what you should know!

1. Application deployment

Deploying a web application to an EC2 instance is one of the most important skills for anyone who works with AWS Lambda. While there are several ways to deploy an application to AWS, developers must stay up-to-date with the latest methods as older ones become obsolete. Therefore, developers should know how to deploy an application manually to an EC2 instance and should have expertise in using CloudFormation to create an application's infrastructure and upload an application. You need to understand Elastic Beanstalk and how it helps with applications, as well as Elastic Container Service or Elastic Kubernetes Service for application deployment.

2. Python

Before diving into Python development using a particular framework, it is important for the developer to have a firm understanding of how the Python programming language works. It is crucial to master fundamental concepts such as variables, data types, exception handling, file handling, data structure, and object-oriented programming before applying for a Python/AWS lambda developer role.

3. Understand serverless service approach

Amazon Web Services' Lambda service is used by developers to manage more and more web application development problems efficiently. While Lambda is excellent for certain types of functionality, AWS Lambda developers need to understand when and why they should use the service for the best results.

4. ORM libraries

Python/AWS lambda developers use object-relational mappers (ORMs) to make changes in databases by using Python code instead of Structured Query Language (SQL). ORMs are libraries that facilitate the movement or transfer of data from a relational database to Python objects. When applying for jobs, be sure ORM is on your resume. Some of the popular Python ORMs are SQLAlchemy, Peewee ORM, Django ORM, PonyORM, and Tortoise ORM.

5. Multi-Process Architecture

When applying for a Python/AWS lambda developer position, it is important to understand the multi-process architecture and how the code will work during release or deployment environments. By understanding system architecture, a developer can easily identify and solve problems in the core Python framework and achieve better and optimized results.

6. AWS SDK

The AWS SDK is a collection of tools that help to build and develop applications using AWS services and allows our application to interact with AWS in the code. Being familiar with these tools enables AWS Lambda developers to take advantage of one of the powerful technologies available today.

How to get remote Python/AWS lambda developer jobs?

Python/AWS lambda developers are a lot like athletes. To excel at their craft, they practice effectively and consistently. They also need to work hard enough that their skills grow gradually over time. In that regard, there are two major factors that Python/AWS lambda developers must focus on in order for that progress to happen: the support of someone who is more experienced and effective in practice techniques while you're practicing. As a developer, it's vital for you to know how much to practice - so make sure there is someone on hand who will help you out and keep an eye out for any signs of burnout!
