AWS Serverless Demonstrated is a hands-on exam lab that validates your AWS skills in the serverless domain. In this timed assessment, you work in a live, AWS-provisioned environment to diagnose issues, implement solutions, and address real business scenarios.
After you begin, you have 125 minutes to complete all challenges. The exam lab provides necessary guidance but not step-by-step solutions. To pass, you must demonstrate proficiency in serverless services, including AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Bedrock.
Important: Each exam lab is continuously tested for reliability. If something appears broken during your attempt, revisit the challenge guidance carefully; most issues stem from a missed configuration step rather than a technical fault.
Tip: Participants who carefully read all provided guidance before acting are significantly more likely to pass. Take time to understand each challenge fully, even under time pressure.
Before you begin:
- Challenges are randomized and might not reflect the sequence of real-life scenarios.
- This exam lab cannot be paused or restarted. If you exit, you will need to start again from the beginning.
- If you fail the exam lab, you will need to wait 25 days before attempting it again.
To prepare for this assessment, we recommend practicing with AWS SimuLearn: Serverless Developer to build troubleshooting and implementation skills. For an immersive game-based experience, try AWS Cloud Quest: Serverless Developer. You can also explore the Serverless - Knowledge Badge Readiness Path and Events and Workflows - Knowledge Badge Readiness Path for structured learning.
