About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Businesses are modernizing and adopting multi-cloud approaches to deliver services. This shift in application deployment has given rise to containerization and Kubernetes for the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. This course introduces you to serverless computing and shows you how to build serverless applications using Knative. It teaches CI/CD using Tekton and shows you how to build pipelines triggered by GitHub events. You will create a pipeline that builds container images using Build and, later, Cloud Native Buildpacks. In the last part of the course, you will build a web application that integrates with GitHub using a GitHub App, and triggers application build and deployment in response to GitHub events.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
