Bootcamp 2021: Learn to Build Multi-Tenant Modern SaaS APIs by Fusing Serverless, AI, IoT, Blockchain, and Quantum Technologies

Covid-19 propelled businesses into the future, ready or not. “Covid has acted like a time machine: it brought 2030 to 2020,” said Loren Padelford, vice president at Shopify Inc. “All those trends, where organizations thought they had more time, got rapidly accelerated.” We at Panacloud are trying to respond to these challenges and trying to lead from the front.

Bootcamp 2021 Coverage

Panacloud Bootcamp 2021 will fuse AI, IoT, Blockchain, and AWS Serverless Cloud Technologies. The Bootcamp will use Python, TypeScript and Rust as its development languages, TensorFlow as ML framework, AWS as its Serverless Cloud platform, AWS Graph Database Neptune, Ethereum as Blockchain platform and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) with TypeScript for Infrastructure as Code.

Those interested in web and mobile Serverless SaaS apps and APIs should also focus on Bootcamp 2020

Difference Between Bootcamp 2020 and Bootcamp 2021

The objective of Bootcamp 2020 is to train developers to develop cloud based SaaS Apps and general serverless APIs for these apps. It includes developing graphic user interfaces (GUIs) development using React, Gatsby, and React Native.

Bootcamp 2020

The objective of Bootcamp 2021 is to train developers to develop cloud based AI, IoT, Blockchain, and Quantum powered serverless APIs. We will not cover graphic user interfaces (GUIs) in Bootcamp 2021 but only voice based conversational interfaces. A conversational interface (CUI) is a user interface for computers that emulates a conversation with a real human. The course of this bootcamp is designed in such a way that Bootcamp 2020 is not a prerequisite to Bootcamp 2021.

Bootcamp 2021

The recording of Bootcamp 2020 is now complete and in a few months recording of Bootcamp 2021 will start. When we say recording of Bootcamp 2020 is complete, it does not mean that the Bootcamp 2020 is closed. Admissions and project acceptance will remain open in both the Bootcamps at atleast till December 2023. We are also developing a platform for developers which will adopt both these bootcamps. Our upcoming Operation Unicorn Startups will also require participations in these bootcamps.

Cloud’s trillion-dollar prize is up for grabs

The objective of both Bootcamp 2020 and Bootcamp 2021 is to train people to go after this prize.

Prerequisites: Python, Rust and TypeScript

Must Have: Create Free AWS Account

AWS Free Tier

Note: For AWS Free Tier you will need a credit or debit card. The easiest way for Pakistani students is to open a bank account in Meezan Bank. Open a Meezan Aasan Account if you have no earning proof. Meezan Bank will charge Rs. 1100 for ATM Debit Card and there is a requirement of Rs. 100 minimum deposit. The card will be delivered in a few weeks. Our students have reported that this Debit card works with AWS.

Part 1: Fast Track Review of Python and Typescript

Part 2: Introduction to Serverless using CDK

We will be writing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) CDK AWS Serverless constructs in TypeScript and Lambda Functions etc. in Python, TypeScript and Rust

Learning Material:

Learning Serverless with CDK Repo

We will focus on Serverless SaaS API development using CDK and AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway (with OpenAPI Specs, and AWS AppSync.

Also please note that we will write the application code in Python and infrasturcture code will be in Typescript.
