“I know how to use AWS services, but I don’t know how to combine them into a usable business system…” “What kind of calculation logic do professionals actually use behind the scenes of an inventory management system?” If you have ever asked yourself these questions, this course is designed for you. This is not just another tutorial that explains how to click buttons in the AWS console. This is a hands-on practical course where you will step into the shoes of a backend engineer and build the core engine of an Order & Inventory Management System—the heart of any E-commerce or Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Why this course? Many tutorials teach tools, but few teach Domain Knowledge. In this course, we bridge that gap. You will learn the essential logic used in the logistics industry, such as:
- The critical difference between “Logical Inventory” and “Allocated Inventory” (Available to Promise).
- How to calculate Safety Stock and Reorder Points (ROP) to prevent stockouts.
You will implement these concepts using Python Classes, ensuring your code is clean, reusable, and robust. Then, you will deploy this logic onto a modern Serverless Architecture using AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and API Gateway.
【Course Agenda】:
- Section 1: Introduction & System Design
