This guy ladies and gentlemen, taught me how to code for the first time. I made a backend in Node.js, I used everything he taught. I used bcrypt, used cors, mongoose.connect, nodemon, made schemas....everything. Then I made the front-end in React, I used axios, used UI libraries like material.... then I connected them. Then I learnt to host via AWS. It is always awesome to spent time watching his videos over a coffee. Never pen down anything, this is not a chemistry class.......always go and run commands, practically do it. That's what I did, years back. Now I am a FULL STACK DEVELOPER. ALL THANKS TO MAX.
@@DragonKidPlaysMC just ask 2 years from your family. Give it all to MAX's video. He will turn you into someone, you family always wanted to see. Or you can give me a whatsapp call , anywhere if stuck.
That's so awesome to hear, congratulations! I'm going through his node.js class right now, and I'm blown away by how detailed his explanations are. It really helps me understand the context of each technology, and how each technology he uses is pieced together like a puzzle. I'm interested in taking his AWS course, but I saw that he uses DynamoDB, but I was interested in using a relational database. Do you think the knowledge learned in that course can be translated to another AWS service like RDS?
Thanks for the great advice Max. Now I have to share some great advice with you as well. Do not blur your confidential information in videos and pictures. Hackers have written programs that brute force blur images and compare them to your blurred images by pixel comparison algorithms. It is very easy for these algorithms to guess the correct numbers/letters compared to a blurred image. This essentially means they can unblur your confidential information and get all your credit card and other confidential information by these continued guesses and fancy algorithms. The correct way to redact your information when publishing media is to write over it with black pixels/rectangles.
Thanks for the notice. The blurred content isn't really that confidential to be honest - just information I don't necessarily need to share with everyone (e.g. my personal mail). If people were to extract it - so be it, the password is not part of the video. I'll keep it in mind though, you are right about the increasing possibilities of things like this to happen
The mind boggles at how much we are expected to know as developers. There seems no end to the amount of cross-cutting languages, frameworks, concepts etc that we are expected to understand and become proficient in.
You don't need to be proficient in so many things, it's like saying an engineer has to actually know those many hundreds pages books. In practice you'll know what you're looking for and ignore 99% of the stuff.
As a Software Engineer with 18 years of experience: I agree with you. It's the best and worst of working in IT: 1) It keeps your career interesting because you're learning all the time (there is no way I could work on a field that hasn't changed at all in decades, it would bore me to death!), 2) At the same time, there is no "downtime"... you have to keep learning what's new out there and that gets stressful some times. You don't have to master everything, but have at least a basic knowledge of what's out there. At this very moment, I'm studying for my AWS Architect certification.
Thanks a lot for your comment Nguai! AWS can definitely be confusing sometimes so I'm really happy to read that my videos helped to make things clearer for you :)
Another note, Maximillian/Academind, this is the first video I have been able to find that explains what I wanted to know... HOW to GET STARTED. (sorry for the caps). I have been reviewing TH-cam links looking for something precisely like this for months.
Max I am busy going through your course on react and I can't thank you enough 😄 Your accent threw me off in the beginning but once I got used to it, I felt like I was being taught by a Swiss scientist lol😅 Thanks again Max. Even your youtube videos are on point👍
Thank You so much Max! started on Udemy, then got the pro course for 5 month ongoing. Just finished the UI for my react native, now getting ready to launch. Thank You Thank You so much!!!
Writing in 2021, AWS seems to be pushing Lambda as their flexible option in contrast to EC2 which is constrained by the parameters you pick. But I'll bet that for most developers "Elastic Beanstalk" (not talked about nearly as much) is the flexible option they're looking for. And, of course, many thanks to Max. Your videos are a breath of fresh air into these murky subjects.
For people who follow this video steps and don't find the node command option in the configuration. AWS changed it. Now you have to add a file and name it Procfile its extension is .file and write in it web: npm start AWS detects this file and run this command
Amazing content as always, Max! I swear it feels like home whenever I desperately look for a video about a certain topic and see a video of yours pop up!
@@polypus74 yes exactly, because I say so. I've used amazon AWS for years and for most general purposes, it's expensive, convoluted, has hidden fees and the performance to cost ratio is crap compared to other hosting platforms. but they've managed to convince a bunch of gullible fools out there - including me (with billions of dollars of marketing) to think that AWS is the next best thing. granted, there are ways to utilize AWS to get the most out of it at the lowest cost possible, which is what some hosting providers have done; developed a system around AWS. but unless you or your organization has time and money to burn, AWS simply makes no sense in most general web hosting cases. Web hosting and AWS is akin to automobiles and German over-engineering. Sure German over-engineering is great, it all works but it's going to cost you a hell of a lot more to get you from point a to point b, and when things go wrong you better know what you're looking for. but you're free to disagree for all I care.
As always, Max creates extra ordinary courses. I love he course Max. Very easy to understand and extremely informative. Thank you Max for creating awesome videos and share your valuable knowledge with us. I follow you everywhere you go to learn from you.
Just had my first day of AWS training @ work & was handed my certificate of completion. Excellent video! Hoping to host a react app there in the near future
That's so cool to read, thanks a lot for your support on Udemy and now also here on TH-cam! I hope that you will also find other interesting videos here on the channel :)
Watching this video because I've an interview with AWS day after tomorrow. I hope I get the job. I've cleared all the rounds, only personal interview is left. Life's hard
What should a person study before AWS to be prepared? Python, Cisco, VMware? I have no idea which path to take as there are too many confusing platforms and certifications. I feel like the only people who get good at this stuff are people with insider connections who were given clear guidance early on.
I bought your AWS Serverless course and it has helped a lot! A bonus section, or even another course on using SAM to configure AWS would be pretty great as well. You use the console the entire course, which is great for newbies such as myself, but I think it would be really valuable to get your take on CloudFormation, CodePipeline, and the rest.
Max, make a video about stress or even depression in developers. You seem like a very positive guy and I definitely would be interested in hearing from you about your sources of positive energy :)
Max, As always, great job in helping us dig into technology! I just started your Udemy course, "AWS Serverless APIs & Apps - A Complete Introduction", so it was great to find a link to this video to get a quick introduction to AWS.
Thank you for your feedback Paul, great to have you on board here and of the Udemy course! We will soon add AWS as a topic on academind.com, so feel free to have a look, maybe you will find some more helpful information :)
Regions are not datacenters and availability zones are not rooms. A region is a geographical location where AWS is present and provide cloud services. An availability zone (AZ for short) is a datacenter in that region. Each region has at least two AZs.
Wonderful introduction! Well explained. I am hoping to learn AWS faster by watching your videos. Thank you for all the time and effort you invested in the creations of your tutorials! I really appreciate you for that!
A few months ago I created an account, based on the adverts that the services are free so long as you stay within limits. I couldn't figure out if I hadn't built any EC2 instances yet, why I had to provide a credit card! Your comment around 5:22, stating that "Yes ,you have to provide a credit card number" sort of negates the fact that you can create EC2 instances. So now I know the "free" "startup" to learn this stuff is simply a misleading gimmick. Glad I didn't get caught up in the hype. :-(
One of the best books I've read on this subject is "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill. Don't miss out on it.
I really liked the video. ALthought, not sure if it's an update from AWS, but it seems the input where you can set your manual npm run start is not there anymore. Do you have maybe any ideea if they have changed something? Thanks. Appreciate.
You are doing a great job. You have the best words from me fro all your tutorials. I watch them and enjoy. Maybe it is interesting to complete this series of videos with AWS SQS (simple queue service) for Laravel. It is very interesting for apps with a lot of background processes (preparing reports, files to be downloaded, payment schedule,...) that might overload machine (server). This naturally affects performance of the whole app and because of it it is very important to separate background processes that are not interested to users but only to admins.
Thanks for your great feedback and also your suggestion. You're right, that is an interesting topic. I'll keep this series going on a "from time to time" basis and there are a lot of interesting services (including SQS) I'll probably look into.
I would love to have some content showing how to use/connect angular to AWS(especially with amplify), and how to use directly the aws-angular packages.
Very cool that you started that series! Can we hope for Lambda tuts? Serverless? It's looking awesome! Ideal - setup for static site, that can use Lamdba functions for submitting forms, transactional email etc.
One question - what happens when at 22:30, my Health says "OK" instead of "Degraded"? Is something wrong, because my application is healthy? Or is this some kind of AWS update where they've fixed this? Thank you for your kind tutorial!
Well done, Max. I hope there's an upcoming video (or a number of them) on security. I know that's a vast topic, and the overall maintenance of a linux server is a complex art in its own right, and that you might not want to show the world your exact security settings, but an overview of basic security to get people started would be great. Most of the info out there regarding securing a linux distribution isn't that useful. There might be a video of random apt-get installs with random config options that aren't explained (now type this, now type that...), or an entire Linux Bible that developers unfortunately do not have time to study, but I haven't found any source that gives developers enough security info to safely launch an instance and administer it for basic apps. I think if you did a vid on how to disable root and log in with .pem files, set up UFW, and install just some standard packages and the meaning of the configurations of those packages, it would be really fantastic. Also, it would be very useful to know what aspects of security AWS handles, and the aspects for which a developer is responsible. I'd happily pay for an effective Udemy course offering an in-depth explanation of securing an Ubuntu 16.4 instance.
Security is a very interesting topic but doing tutorials on it is really hard. There's a relatively high danger of people simply using what you show without adjusting it to their exact setup or without questioning it. And I don't want to get into any responsibility issues. I do have it on the agenda but I can't tell how deep I'll dive into it. I have to think about that one
Max I invite you To Greece... Come join me at you summer holidays. You helped me a lot and I want to offer you some quality time under the sunshine of Corfu Island.
That's really nice Revaz, happy to read that the videos are helpful and thanks a lot for your invitation. But actually I do not have any holiday plans yet, so I'm not sure if this is going to work ;)
June 2023 - Getting an error for the Elastic Beanstalk, "No Environment found for EnvironmentName = 'My-first-app-env'". Since I could not find the "Build a web app" solution, I went to the Elastic Beanstalk service directly, and clicked "Create Application". Please help, am I missing something?
Thanks , this helped a lot . But sometimes I receive file not found error on a running page. When I remove cache , history and run the page again by typing the page address manually in browser’s address bar and add www with url it fixes the issue and page is up again . Can anybody suggest anything to about this issue and what steps should it take to resolve it. Thanks
I saw your course about serverless app using lambda. I want to know how (and if your course address this) to handle common code, specifically database connection code. Do I have to specify in every lambda function how to connect to a MySQL database? What about common functions, common global variables? how is that shared/used in lambda?
So, If I have 5 instances that are all in "stopped" status and NOT "Terminated", would I be charged after a time period? I thought we are charged only for the "running" time period.
I don't understand what made AWS label the server as degraded. Are you saying that since the image you used is Node JS, then AWS automatically expects to find an active Node server? What if I just wanted to make a machine that has a script that prints "Hello World" and I wouldn't even run it, would that result in a degraded status too? .I'm basically having a hard time understanding the correlation between a machine's health status and the apps that it runs.
So happy to read that you like it Achraf! I got more videos here on the channel and on academind.com/learn you can also find the videos by different topics :)
Hi, is that 750 hours of wall clock time that the instance is "up" ie from when you click launch until when you click terminate? Or is that elapsed CPU time? I thought you were only supposed to pay for processing cycles or in 100ms chunks of CPU time. I am confused. Thanks.
Great tutorial, as always, Maximilian. Quick question: compared to Lightsail, would you say that beanstalk is more flexible and suited for larger applications? That is to say, Lightsail would be a lot more restricted and more of a content provider applications? Thank you!
This is a very good overview thanks for posting. In the free version if you make any modifications to parameters that are not part of the free version do they let you know before charging you?

I do have it on the agenda but I can't tell how deep I'll dive into it. I have to think about that one
That's understandable. Anyway, happy to see this series.
Great video, get to the point quick and nice to listen to.
That's really great to read, thank you very much for your amazing feedback!
Max I invite you To Greece... Come join me at you summer holidays. You helped me a lot and I want to offer you some quality time under the sunshine of Corfu Island.
That's really nice Revaz, happy to read that the videos are helpful and thanks a lot for your invitation. But actually I do not have any holiday plans yet, so I'm not sure if this is going to work ;)
Max is a vampire and therefor he cannot accept but he cannot say he cannot accept for this reason. So he made up the one above.
Thank you so much, almost all the questions that I have in mind about AWS are already answered. Thanks again.
Awesome to hear that Julius, thanks so much!
Great video, clear instruction. Thanks!
June 2023 - Getting an error for the Elastic Beanstalk, "No Environment found for EnvironmentName = 'My-first-app-env'". Since I could not find the "Build a web app" solution, I went to the Elastic Beanstalk service directly, and clicked "Create Application". Please help, am I missing something?
Thanks Max!
Great video to jump into AWS.
Thank you Dragan, really happy to read that the video was helpful!
Thanks for this video Max you're the best
Thanks , this helped a lot . But sometimes I receive file not found error on a running page. When I remove cache , history and run the page again by typing the page address manually in browser’s address bar and add www with url it fixes the issue and page is up again . Can anybody suggest anything to about this issue and what steps should it take to resolve it. Thanks
Max you forgot to hide your city 'Munich', I will come over and find you to hand over Lindt for this awesome efforts
We are based in Munich, that's not a secret, I'd still take the Lindt though :D
I saw your course about serverless app using lambda. I want to know how (and if your course address this) to handle common code, specifically database connection code. Do I have to specify in every lambda function how to connect to a MySQL database? What about common functions, common global variables? how is that shared/used in lambda?
So, If I have 5 instances that are all in "stopped" status and NOT "Terminated", would I be charged after a time period? I thought we are charged only for the "running" time period.
I don't understand what made AWS label the server as degraded. Are you saying that since the image you used is Node JS, then AWS automatically expects to find an active Node server? What if I just wanted to make a machine that has a script that prints "Hello World" and I wouldn't even run it, would that result in a degraded status too?
.I'm basically having a hard time understanding the correlation between a machine's health status and the apps that it runs.
Love your courses and tutorials, Max! Keep up the awesome work!
I'll try my best, thanks for the amazing feedback!
Maximilian, you are the man!

Awesome, welcome on board Alexander, thanks so much for your support!
awesome ! we really need other tutorials from you
So happy to read that you like it Achraf! I got more videos here on the channel and on academind.com/learn you can also find the videos by different topics :)
Great Overview! But what are alternatives if you don't want to support Amazon?
Google Cloud, Azure, IBM
Hi, is that 750 hours of wall clock time that the instance is "up" ie from when you click launch until when you click terminate? Or is that elapsed CPU time? I thought you were only supposed to pay for processing cycles or in 100ms chunks of CPU time. I am confused. Thanks.
How do you update your site once is up ? Say you want to tweak some part of the code so how do you upgrade to the server ?
thank you so much for this amazing tutorial waiting for more
Great videos Max, really enjoy and learn a lot from your content. Keep it up!
Great tutorial, as always, Maximilian.
Quick question: compared to Lightsail, would you say that beanstalk is more flexible and suited for larger applications? That is to say, Lightsail would be a lot more restricted and more of a content provider applications? Thank you!
Great video! I'm doing the Cloud Essentials course and wanted to see a practical implementation.
So happy that i subscribed to your channel. Hope to see more tutorials on AWS. Keep up the good work :)
Happy to have you on board Vishal! And I'll upload more AWS tutorials for sure, no worries :)
max please make a video on CI CD , jenkins , docker
This is a very good overview thanks for posting. In the free version if you make any modifications to parameters that are not part of the free version do they let you know before charging you?
