Description

The performance of a website or web application is perhaps the most important aspect of your site. Without good performance, people will often abandon your site regardless of what it offers. Caching has become one of the most popular and effective ways to speed up the delivery of content to users that have little patience for underperforming websites or applications. In this course, Brett McLaughlin shows you how a powerful, flexible, low-cost caching mechanism like AWS CloudFront can help you build and support performance web sites and applications. Brett demonstrates how to use CloudFront to do everything from basic caching of a static website, to fronting an API gateway with Lambda calls and providing dynamic content. Lastly, he explains how authentication and authorization figure into caching, along with more advanced next steps to explore in caching.

Instructor's Courses

My passion is high-growth organizations that need to make difficult decisions and execute quickly and accurately. I am a proven leader focused on mapping business strategies to product and technical requirements. I am concerned with results- and value-based teams and organizations that must interact with distributed customers through clear and creative communication, honesty, integrity, and heart. I choose career opportunities where I can be an integral part of an organization that is committed to becoming greater than individual agendas, but also recognizes the importance of the individual. My most important skills are communication, empathy, predictive thinking, and problem solving. I believe that these rise in importance above my experience with cloud computing, application platforms, and the DevOps culture (in both broken and ideal contexts). My goal is to find organizations whose values reflect this same prioritization and shares a belief that customer success is based more on relationship and experience than it is bits and bytes moving across a network¬–but that those same bits and bytes must continue to move all the while.
