Description
Welcome to Hands-On Modern Development of Image Upload with Next.js & AWS – a practical, project-based course designed to give you real-world skills in building modern cloud-enabled applications.
In this course, we will learn how to build a fully functional image upload system from scratch using Next.js on the frontend/backend and Amazon Web Services (AWS). We’ll take a hands-on approach, skipping unnecessary theory and focusing on practical steps you can immediately apply in your own projects.
You will:
Set up a modern development environment with Node.js, Cursor IDE, and AWS CLI.
Create a Next.js project and connect it with AWS services.
Use Amazon S3 for secure and scalable image storage.
Trigger background processing with Amazon SQS + Lambda using S3 event notifications.
Manage access securely with AWS IAM.
Test and interact with AWS resources using the AWS CLI and SDK.
By the end of the course, you’ll not only have a working project that demonstrates modern cloud-native image handling, but also the confidence to extend and adapt it for your own professional use cases.
This course is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud enthusiasts who want to strengthen their skills in frontend–backend integration and AWS cloud development. No prior AWS experience is required, but basic JavaScript/React knowledge will help you follow along smoothly.
