What is the Fixing Broken Shopify-AWS Deployments Before course about?

Every Monday, after marketing pushes new collections, the staging-to-production sync fails. CloudFront invalidations time out, Lambda functions miss Shopify webhook readiness, and you're paged to manually roll back. This isn't failure, it's patterned instability in the deployment chain between Shopify's platform and your AWS-hosted services. The scripts you wrote six months ago no longer match current state, and no single runbook covers.

The situation this course is for

Every Monday, after marketing pushes new collections, the staging-to-production sync fails. CloudFront invalidations time out, Lambda functions miss Shopify webhook readiness, and you're paged to manually roll back. This isn't failure, it's patterned instability in the deployment chain between Shopify's platform and your AWS-hosted services. The scripts you wrote six months ago no longer match current state, and no single runbook covers the full handoff. You're not blocked, you're just slower than you should be.

Who this is for

Senior developer or platform engineer shipping on Shopify Plus with AWS-hosted extensions (functions, storefronts, apps) who owns deployment reliability end-to-end

Who this is not for

Developers who only use Shopify Admin UI, or AWS-only engineers not touching storefront logic
