Course description
Stop managing database servers manually and learn how AWS RDS handles backups, patches, and scaling automatically. You'll create a MySQL database instance, configure security groups to control access, and connect a Python application that creates tables and performs real SQL queries using production-ready patterns.
This hands-on course takes you through RDS fundamentals - from instance configuration and security group rules to database connections and SQL operations. You'll build a Python API that safely queries your database using parameterized queries and proper connection management.
Every cloud developer needs to understand managed relational databases. Learn how to set up production-ready MySQL databases without the operational overhead, the same approach used by companies to run reliable SQL workloads at scale.
