Learning Objectives
API Gateway is one of the many services offered by AWS through which we can create, manage, and deploy different types of APIs, including HTTP, REST, and WebSocket.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll create a REST API using the API Gateway service and integrate it directly with AWS DynamoDB. You’ll start by creating a table on DynamoDB to serve as the database for your API and insert data into the table using the AWS Python SDK. Next, you’ll create the REST API and configure its endpoints, methods, integrations, and data mappings with the DynamoDB table. Once the API is configured and deployed, you’ll invoke its different endpoints and view the results.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll have a strong understanding of REST APIs and the API Gateway service. You’ll be able to apply the knowledge you gain from this lab to create your own APIs with custom integrations with AWS services that can serve various real-world use cases.

Your method is simple, straight to the point and I can practice with it everywhere, even from my phone, that's something I have never had in other learning platforms.
I highly recommend Educative. The courses are well organized and easy to understand.
I prefer Educative courses because they have a nice mix of text & images. I find that with full video courses, it can often be too easy to go into passive learning mode.
