The cloud, explained and buildable
What each service actually is, the properties CloudSynth teaches you to configure — verified against the templates the lessons synthesize — and where to go build it graded.

Ship features on managed infrastructure — storage, functions, APIs — without running servers.
Provision, secure, and automate — least-privilege IAM, pipelines, and infrastructure as code.
Store training data, run batch and event-driven compute, and stand up inference endpoints.
Combine services into resilient, cost-aware systems — and justify every trade-off.
How services stack in real architectures
CloudSynth's own view — not just per-service docsS3 hosts, CloudFront caches at the edge — the cheapest way to serve a fast global site.
API Gateway routes to Lambda, backed by DynamoDB — no servers, scales to zero.
An S3 upload triggers a Lambda — the canonical "something happened, react to it" shape.
IAM roles scoped to exactly one resource — the habit that separates safe infra from breaches.
