In this course, you’re going to learn how to develop using the 8base platform! 8base is a Backend-as-a-Service platform built on a serverless architecture. When using 8base, your application backend will be running on an 3-tier serverless architecture, all hosted on AWS. And the good news is that all of it is fully managed.
